Learn how to make a simple, easy, 2-ingredient body butter bar with colorful swirls! It melts on skin contact, readily absorbs, and leaves no greasy residue behind - PLUS is gorgeous! Stick/bar moisturizers are the best; they're easy, convenient, & provide quick applications!
RECIPE: Equal amounts of murumuru butter [25 grams] and expeller pressed raw coconut oil (solid at room temperature) [25 grams], + 5-10% fragrance oil [3 grams].
Coconut oil makes the bar softer, more moisturizing, & makes it melt more readily on skin. Add more or less depending on your preference. I recommend murumuru butter; it's a hard/brittle butter that melts readily on skin (perfect for a bar). If trying to substitute it, try a different hard/brittle butter like cupuacu or cocoa. Illipe did not work well for this (not for me anyways).
DIRECTIONS: Melt [chopped] butter (I used a microwave), then mix in coconut oil until melted. Blend butter until it's smooth. Allow the butter/oil to cool and harden a bit. Add fragrance oil, then whip it until it's light and fluffy. NOTE: Stick blenders are really convenient but they don't last. If you make emulsions often or make hard emulsions that must be whipped (like this one), a hand mixer may be a better choice.
COLORING BUTTER: I used color powder BUT a liquid colorant that mixes with oil would be ideal; like an oil-based colorant OR a water-based colorant plus an emulsifier. Add a bit of each color to a piping bag for colorful swirls. Test the butter before piping it into a container. NOTE: Prepare 1 small bag at a time as body heat will melt the butter. If butter melts, allow it to cool and harden again.
PACKAGING: Use a clear, round twist up container. Shove the tip all the way in. Carefully squeeze butter in. As butter reaches the sides, move tip up and gently twist it side to side to make swirls fuller. Cure bars 24 hours. QUICK TIP: Don't pipe over the container, otherwise the caps may smash the tops.
