Easy DIY nontoxic whipped body butter that will keep your skin hydrated all winter long without all the junky ingredients in most store-bought body butters. I’m talking no fillers, no preservatives, no endocrine disruptors, no artificial fragrance or any other funky junk brands like to toss in their products. Just good-for-you ingredients that will hydrate your skin. You can use it from your face to your feet, and it’s gentle on sensitive skin. Here’s my basic recipe that you can customize to your own liking. I use unrefined butters and oils, but they do have a natural fragrance that could throw off the scent of any essential oils you add. If adding in essential oils to the whipped body butter, use refined butters and oils. Recipe 1/2 cup Pure Unrefined Shea Butter (Substitutes are Cocoa Butter or Mango Butter) 1/4 cup Organic, Unrefined, Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil 1 Tbsp Arrowroot Powder or Corn Starch 1 Tbsp Organic Vegetable Glycerin 5-10 drops Essential Oil of choice (Optional) Melt together Shea Butter and Coconut Oil. Add in Arrowroot Powder or Corn Starch and vegetable glycerine. Whisk to combine. Allow to cool until it firms up. Once firm (not hard), use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to whip up the body butter until it’s the consistency of whipped butter. Add in essential oil, if using. Continue to beat until well combined. Place in an airtight container and store in a cool dry place. If stored in a warm location, it could melt. Use within 6 months. bodybutter diyskincare LTKWatchNow
