Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare a double boiler by filling a pot with water and placing a heat-resistant bowl on top, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water.
- Add the cocoa butter, coconut oil, and shea butter into the bowl. Heat gently while stirring until everything melts into a smooth mixture.
Add Essential Oil
- Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool slightly for a few minutes.
- Add the 10-15 drops of vanilla essential oil and stir well to distribute the fragrance evenly.
Cool and Whip
- Allow the mixture to cool until it begins to solidify, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
- Once it thickens slightly, use a hand mixer to whip the mixture until creamy and fluffy.
Transfer and Store
- Scoop the whipped body butter into a clean, airtight jar.
- Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Notes
This body butter can last about 6-12 months if stored in a cool, dry environment. To maintain clarity, always check for changes in smell or texture before use.
