Ingredients for Homemade Whipped Body Butter

1/4 Cup of Shea Butter (This is what I recommend, affiliate link)
1/4 Cup of solid Coconut Oil (This is what I recommend, affiliate link)
1 Tablespoon of Vitamin E Oil  (This is what I recommend, affiliate link)
20-30 drop of Essential Oils of your choice (This is what I recommend, 100% Therapeutic Grade)
3 4oz Mason jars to store the body butter (This is what I recommend, affiliate link)

Directions how to make Homemade Whipped Body Butter

1. Place a wide mouth 8oz glass canning jar in a pot of water. The water should be about half way up on the jar. Heat the water on med high heat until a small boil.

2. Add the Shea butter first then add the coconut oil. Allow the them to hangout and melt together. Stir occasionally  to help the melting process.

3. Once the Shea butter and the coconut oil are melted remove from heat. Then add the vitamin E oil.

4. Pour in a mixing bowl and allow to cool. This is the hardest part, since it takes about an hour to cool. You can place in the fridge or freezer and keep checking on it. It is best when it is at the point of starting to solidify again. (look at the picture above) This is the best point to add the essential oils. Add what you like. I have several versions of body butter I like to make. One is for minor muscles aches after a work out. A relaxing whipped body butter with lavender before bedtime and an invigorating one for the morning.

5. With the whisking attachment to your mixer, whisk the mixture until light an fluffy, just like whipped cream. It takes about 5 minutes on med high to high. It will even look just like whipped cream, too. You could probably eat it, but I would not recommend it.

This homemade whipped body butter will leave your skin soft and smooth all day. Perfect for dry skin. I love using this body butter everyday on my skin. Since this is an all natural product without any added chemicals, I can use this on my children’s skin and feel great about it. This homemade body butter is safe for all skin types and children. Consult a physician on use with children under the age of one.

To use: get about a dime size on your hands and rub  your hands together to melt the oils. Then smooth on your skin to create soft smooth skin all day. My skin feels amazingly soft and smells so good after I add the essential oils. I know your skin will feel amazing after using this homemade body butter.
