Whipped Body Butter
Heavenly whipped body butter to share with friends! Essential oils of ginger and pink grapefruit increase circulation and boost your glow!
Servings: 9 cups
Ingredients
- 1 pound unrefined shea butter
- 8 ounces coconut oil
- 2 ounces sweet almond oil
- 100 drops ginger essential oil
- 30 drops pink grapefruit essential oil
Instructions
- Place shea butter, coconut oil and sweet almond oil into a heatproof bowl and place over a small pot of simmering water to create a double boiler.
- Completely melt the three oils and remove from heat. Add your essential oils.
- After the oils are melted, move bowl to the refrigerator to chill for about 2 hours (if using a stand mixer, transfer to the mixer bowl before chilling)
- When the oils are well chilled and just starting to "set back up", remove from refrigerator and start whipping on high speed. If the oils do not transform from semi-translucent to opaque white almost instantly your oils are not quite col enough and may need to chill longer.
- Beat on high for about 5-7 minutes or until amount triple in volume. Your final yield and texture will depend entirely on how much air you whip into the oils.
