Thermometer
Heated Stage
10g Sweet Almond Oil
20g Coconut Oil
10g Olive oil
33.5g Shea butter
25g Mango Butter
Cool down stage
0.5g Chamomile Essential Oil
1g Vitamin E oil
Step 1: Melt the Butters & Oil
Set up a bain-marie (double boiler) and gently melt the Mango Butter, Shea Butter, and Coconut Oil, Olive oil, Sweet Almond oil. Stir occasionally to ensure everything is fully combined.
Step 2: Cool & Add Essential Oils
Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to 40°C (104°F). Then, mix in your Roman Chamomile Oil, and Vitamin E for an antioxidant boost.
Step 3: First Freeze & Check Texture
Place the mixture in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. Check it every 10 minutes—once it becomes soft (not fully liquid or solid), remove it.
Step 4: Whip It Up!
Use a whisk to beat the mixture for a few minutes until it turns creamy—like whipping butter and sugar for baking. The first round will be soft, so we’ll chill it again.
Step 5: Second Freeze & Final Whisk
Return the mixture to the freezer for another 30-45 minutes. Once it’s chilled but still soft, whisk again until it reaches a light, fluffy, butter-like texture. Repeat if needed.
Step 6: Store & Enjoy
Scoop your whipped body butter into a clean glass jar using a spatula. Label it (grab a cute sticker if you have one!) and store it in a cool, dry place.
