Body Butter Recipe

Ingredients

These ingredients are available instore. Purchased by weight, you can get just enough for the recipe for a low cost.

• 3/4 cup shea butter
• 1/4 cup jojoba oil (infused if desired – see below)
• essential oil (optional)

Method

Place butter in heat-proof jug and sit in hot water to soften.

Add jojoba oil and whip using an electric whisk, food processor
or thermo (lucky you!).

You can also use a hand-held whisk if you put in extra time and effort. Whip on low-med for approx. 5 minutes, or until you have created fluffy white clouds.

If you are using essential oils, add them just before the mix is finished.

Spoon it into a clean dry jar.

Enjoy!

NOTES //

1. You can infuse your jojoba oil with calendula and chamomile to soak your skin with liquid gold goodness!
2. In winter, adjust to 60% butter, 40% oil so it doesn’t set as hard.
3. This is a great base recipe. You can add lavender oil and use it as a bug-bite cream. Add calendula and chamomile a for dry chapped lips, or for sensitive baby bums.
4. Keep in a cool, dark place – a bathroom cupboard is perfect. As this recipe is anhydrous (meaning no water) it should keep for up to 3 months... if it lasts that long!
