This is the BEST non-greasy homemade whipped body butter! It is luxurious, it absorbs quickly, and most importantly it truly works.
In this video, I will walk you through my absolute favorite homemade whipped body butter recipe made with all natural ingredients that you can pronounce. No chemicals. No nasty stuff.
This nourishing body butter is adapted slightly from Carly Daley’s recipe at Modern Hippie Health & Wellness, which is fantastic- check it out! modernhippiehw....
I’ve made her exact version several times with great success. However, it does require several ingredients that I didn’t initially have. So, I’m going to share with you a slightly pared down version, to hopefully lower the intimidation factor if you are just diving into making your own products.
Here's what you'll need.
Ingredients:
53g (approx. 1/4 c) Unrefined Shea Butter
26g (approx. 2 T) Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
33g (approx. 3 T) Jojoba Oil or other liquid oil
4g (approx. 1 tsp) Organic Beeswax Pellets
1-1/2 tsp Arrowroot Powder
1/4 tsp Vitamin E oil
Optional: 15-20 drops essential oil
Tools:
A clean container (for storage)
Double boiler OR small heatproof bowl and sauce pan
Electric stand or hand mixer
Optional but useful: Kitchen scale
Instructions:
Combine shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, and jojoba oil in a double boiler or heat safe bowl that fits on top of a saucepan. Heat an inch or two of water in the saucepan to a simmer and set the bowl on top. Gently stir until everything is melted.
Remove bowl from the heat and let cool for a few minutes. Place the bowl in the fridge for about 30-40 minutes or until the oils cool and thicken. The mixture will begin to turn opaque but you should still be able to squish it with your finger. (If it turns rock solid, you’ve gone too far- just let it sit out for a while or remelt it if necessary.)
Transfer your oil mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer (if you’re using one.) Now add the arrowroot powder, vitamin E oil, and optional essential oils. Whip on high for about 3-5 minutes until peaks form, very similar to whipping cream. When the mixture has reached the optimal point, it will cling to the back of a spoon or spatula without falling off.
Spoon your luxurious homemade whipped body butter into a clean jar or container.
I can’t wait for you to try this out! I think you are really going to love it and the end product is pretty impressive. For more information about this recipe, check out:
