Key Ingredients
Shea butter is the star of the show here, as it comprises 50
percent of the ingredients. Made naturally from the shea tree, it’s extremely
moisturizing and hydrating. When applied to the skin, it provides immediate
softness and smoothness.
Coconut oil is next, as no oil works better for skin. Did
you know that it’s loaded with good fats that provide us with energy, has
hydrating properties, and is able to fight microbes within and outside the
body? All true!
Jojoba oil is also of great help for the skin. A natural
moisturizer, it can also remove sticky buildup or excess oil, keeping your oil
levels balanced. That makes it a strong natural treatment for eczema as well as
home remedy for acne, plus well suited for other dry-skin conditions.
Lastly, add the essential oil of your choice for added
benefits as well as pleasant scents. Lavender oil and tea tree oil are two
excellent choices.
How to Make Whipped Body Butter
Put shea butter, coconut oil and jojoba oil in glass bowl,
then place that bowl in a sauce pan that is filled with water. Make sure to not
allow any water to get into the bowl.
Heat stovetop to medium flame and mix oils together with a
whisk. Whisk until completely melted.
Remove the glass bowl from the stove and let it cool for 30
minutes. Add in the essential oils and whisk again. Once mixed, put the bowl in
the refrigerator for an hour or until solid.
Remove from the fridge. With a regular mixer or hand mixer,
beat the oils until they are whipped and fluffy. Fill a glass jar with the
whipped body butter mixture and store at room temperature.
Apply it after taking a shower or bath, when your skin is
still wet. Enjoy!
