Equipment
- Double Boiler (jug or bowl over simmering water)
- Measuring cups or jug
- Spoon
- Jar or airtight container to store
Ingredients
- ½ cup shea butter
- ½ cup cocoa butter
- ½ cup coconut oil solid form
- ½ cup fractionated coconut oil
Essential Oils
- 30 drops preferred essential oils see notes
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan with 3-5 cm of water and bring to a boil
- Put shea butter, coconut butter, coconut oil and fractionated coconut butter in bowl or glass jar
- Once boiling, add bowl or glass jar to the centre of the saucepan to melt and combine ingredients
- Stir every few minutes until the ingredients are melted and combined (10–15 minutes) Tip: Use an icy-pole stick to stir for easy cleanup.
- Once everything is melted, remove from heat and let sit for 5–10 minutes before adding your preferred essential oils.
- Once essential oils are added, let it rest in a cool place (such as the refrigerator) until it has set (it will turn opaque in colour and no longer be transparent)
- Once chilled, use a stand or hand mixer to whip. Start on low and slowly turn the speed higher until the lotion becomes light and fluffy (around 3–5 minutes)
Notes
Store the mixture in a glass jar and keep it in a cool place. If needed you can re-fluff the body butter by whipping it back up to the desired consistency
