DIY Homemade Whipped Body Butter Recipe with essential oil blends
Author: Dawn Goehring
Homemade body butter recipe with nourishing essential oils. Who doesn’t love soft, moisturized, and healthy skin? The butters and oils used in this simple whipped body butter recipe are the perfect combination that will leave your skin moisturized for days after applying.Customize your whipped body butter with any essential oil blend of your choice. My favorite essential oil combination to use is Frankincense and a citrus such as Wild Orange.
Measure all butters and oils in glass mason jar or heat safe glass bowl.
Fill a large skillet/saucepan with one to one and a half inches of water. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, add the glass jar to the center of the saucepan to melt and combine ingredients.
Stir every few minutes until the ingredients are melted and combined. (10–15 minutes) Tip: Use a popsicle stick to stir for easy cleanup.
Once everything is melted, remove from heat and let sit for 5–10 minutes. Add desired essential oils.
Once essential oils are added, let it rest in a cool place (such as the refrigerator) until it has set.
Once chilled, take out of refrigerator. With a stand or hand mixer, start on low and slowly turn the speed higher until the lotion becomes light and fluffy (around 3–5 minutes).
Store mixture in a glass jar and keep in a cool, dry place. If needed, re-fluff the body butter by whipping it back up to the desired consistency with a hand mixture.
Notes
Note: Citrus Oils can cause photosensitivity meaning you are likely to sunburn much more quickly than normal. Please use caution if using your whipped body cream with citrus oils in it.
