- Step 1
- 1. In a double boiler over medium-low heat, melt together the Shea Butter and Coconut Oil. 2. Remove from heat. 3. Add in all the remaining oils (Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E Liquid, and essential oils). 4. For 1-2 hours, refrigerate the blend until it appears to be an off-white semi-solid. 5. With a hand mixer, whip this blend until it is a soft and fluffy body butter (approximately 10 minutes). 6. To use, massage the whipped body butter upward in the direction of the heart to boost circulation. (For example, if starting at the feet, massage up toward the knee. If starting at the wrist, massage up toward the shoulder). 7. Store the finished product in a glass jar at room temperature. Avoid leaving it in heat or humidity to prevent melting. If exposing the butter to heat is inevitable, store it in the refrigerator. 8. This body butter should remain fresh for 6 months.
