Whipped Body Butter Recipe

coconut oil (approximately 1⁄3 cup)

shea butter (approximately 1⁄3 cup) ­

cocoa butter

jojoba oil oil

arrowroot powder (optional – makes it not feel greasy on the skin

essential oils (add more if you like)

In a double boiler or glass bowl, combine all ingredients except essential oils.

Bring to medium heat and stir constantly until all ingredients are melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Move to the fridge and let cool another 1 hour or until starting to harden but still somewhat soft.

Use a hand mixer to whip for 10 minutes until fluffy. Add essential oils and whip for another minute.

Made my first batch of body butter ever! Easy and turned out perfect! Next time I will stir the mixture halfway through the cooling process to ensure more even texture, and use a bigger mixing bowl to catch splatters.

I LOVE the texture of this body butter... but no amount of oil can cover the smell of the cocoa butter. My kids won't use it. Sigh. I made it for Christmas gifts but I am afraid they won't like it either. Maybe I should leave the cocoa butter out next time, or just go for the whipped coconut oil recipe.

I don’t like the smell of cocoa butter either. But I found that there are organic deodorized or semi-deodorized cocoa butters out there that have very little to no smell. I ordered some and used it in the recipe. It turned out perfect! Just search online.

This is my favourite whipped body butter recipe so far. I made it with 2oz mango butter, 2oz coconut oil, 1/3 cup almond oil, 2 tsp arrowroot powder, and 30 drops lavender essential oil. I didn't have another type of butter so I just left one of them out and the texture still turned out amazing! The softer texture is more ideal for colder climates as well. The added arrowroot powder really helps it melt into your skin easier and reduces greasiness. I've made this twice!

Hello! 
Just wondering where you have found refined cocoa butter? I can’t find it on Amazon, any other spots? 
Thank you!

What I found to help with it not setting or being fluffy is you really do need The arrow root powder I made this recipe times four also I added extra butter 2.5 ounces of each and I Do not wait for it to get as hard as it was in the video I waited until the sides in the bottom and the top was hard but the middle was still kind of soupy

Hi, 

I live in Florida heat, so if I wanted to use beeswax, how many ounces would I put in this whipped body butter recipe? 

Thanks.

I made this tonight--- the directions vary based on the print recipe screen versus blog instructions... Which is frustrating. The photo makes it look like arrowroot is sitting on top of the Shea in the bowl. Anyways, I added that when the butters melted (not at the end when whipping) and I added the essential oils before cooling it down or whipping. I'll add more once whipping bc I would like to be able to smell it. Please make the 3 formats consistent with more details for this. Thank you

I made it today. The result is that it's like a lotion type not a whipped cream.  Im frustrated with the result. What do you think is the problem ?  Also the shea butter smells so strong..

I successfully created my first batch of body butter! Simple, and the results were excellent! Next time I will stir the mixture halfway through the cooling process to ensure more even texture, and use a bigger mixing bowl to catch splatters.

I find this recipe helpful. Can be used Shea butter the same as coconut butter?

I actually haven't made this yet but using my own knowledge of making lotions &amp; lip balms, Coconut Oil tends to sit on the skin rather than actually absorb. I refuse to even get a lip balm with it as an ingredient because my lips will feel even more chapped 5-10min later. Beeswax has to be the #1 ingredient because it protects the skin. Anyway, adding Cocoa Powder is absolutely unnecessary if you buy ORGANIC COCOA BUTTER. Also, Unrefined Cocoa Butter naturally has a heavy chocolate scent and is actually better for your skin than the "deordorized"/unscented. I buy mine on Amazon.

Shea and mango butter are good alternatives to cocoa butter.

I made this today for gifts to give out. Recipe is simple, easy and came out great!!! I followed it exactly. I am wondering how to cut down on the greasy oily of it?? It goes on and is just super shiny and greasy. What can I add?? Thanks!

Love this recipe! And information that goes along with it!
