My Homemade Whipped Body Butters

Whipped Body Butter – Version I
Ingredients:

• ½ cup Cocoa Butter (can use Mango Butter, as well)
• ½ cup  Kokum Butter
• ½ cup (organic) Coconut Oil
• ½ cup light oil (e.g., organic almond, jojoba, or extra-virgin olive oil)
• 10-30 drops of essential oils of choice (see below for ideas)

Directions:
1. Place a Pyrex bowl in a saucepan that has water in it (making a double-boiler) or use a double-boiler.
2. Heat the water to gently melt and continuously stir to thoroughly combine the butters & oils in glass. 
[I do not like to place oils in metal, as there could be a reaction.]
3. Place in refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to cool slightly before adding essential oils.
4. Stir in essential oils. 
5. Place in refrigerator for an additional 20–35 minutes to cool - just set, but not hard. 
6. Using an electric hand mixer, whip until firm peaks form, about 10 minutes.
7. Gently transfer to small glass seal-able jars (preferably amber glass or cobalt blue glass).
8. Store extra jars in fridge.
The current jar may be stored at room temperature.
Massage onto dry skin. 
Enjoy!
