Ingredients
- 1 cup shea butter
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup sweet almond oil
- 1 tablespoon vitamin E oil
- 10 –15 drops essential oil any scent you like
Instructions
Melt the Oils
- Heat shea butter and coconut oil in a double boiler. Stir until fully melted and smooth.
Add Almond Oil
- Remove from heat. Add sweet almond oil to the warm mix. Stir slowly until combined well.
Cool the Mix
- Place the bowl in the fridge. Let the mix cool until partly solid.
Whip the Butter
- Use a mixer. Whip the mixture until light, fluffy and creamy.
Add Vitamin E
- Pour in vitamin E oil. Mix again until fully combined and smooth.
Add Essential Oil
- Add 10–15 drops of your favorite essential oil. Whip again for even scent.
Whip Again
- Whip for extra two minutes. This makes the butter very soft and airy.
Fill the Jars
- Scoop the whipped butter into clean jars. Close the lids tightly to keep it fresh.
Label and Store
- Label the jars if you want. Store them in a cool and dry place.
Use on Skin
- Take a small amount. Rub gently on your skin until it melts and absorbs.
Notes
- Do not overheat the oils. Warm them slowly for best texture.
- Chill the mix only until partly solid. If it gets too hard, let it soften.
- Use a cold bowl to help the butter whip faster.
- Add more essential oil for a stronger scent.
- Use clean jars to keep the butter fresh longer.
