Happy Labor Day -
To celebrate, pamper yourself with this fluffy body butter. It is one of the simplest to make. You need a hand mixer and a decorative container to place it in when you complete it. It makes a great gift and you can scent it with any fragrance you want.
6
oz Coconut Oil
2
oz Cocoa Butter
2
oz Essential Oil (your choice)
Mixer
Directions:
Clean
your container in warm soapy water and allow to dry.
While
your container is drying melt both your coconut oil
and cocoa butter. You can melt them over a double boiler, or in a
microwave safe bowl in the microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring in between
each burst.
Once
the oil and butter have melted, place them in the refrigerator for
5-10 minutes. Do not place in freezer. Once the oils and butter are opaque,
using a stand or hand mixer, beat on high for 4-5 minutes.
The mixture should become thick and creamy. If after 5
minutes of beating it doesn’t become thick, refrigerate for 5 more minutes and
beat again.
Once the oils become creamy, refrigerate for 5 more
minutes. After 5 minutes, add in your essential oil and beat until well incorporated.
Once stiff peaks form, spoon into your clean container and seal. Will last up to 6 months in
an airtight container.
