Cut the Cost of Buying This Expensive Treat for Your Body

Body butters can be made from many types of butters, shea butter, cocoa butter, aloe butter and mango butter to name a few. You can also use different kinds of liquid oils also, from Olive Oil, Almond Oil, Avocado Oil, etc. You will find that mostly all recipes for bath and body products are done by weight. Even the liquid oils are measured by weight. As this all the measurements here are to be done in weight.

The recipe below is a very simple, basic and easy recipe for whipped body butter. You can play with recipes and make them as elaborate as you like or as easy as you want. This recipe is for making a deliciously softening body butter that you will just love to slather all over your body.

I have chosen the ingredients bellow to make this whipped body butter because they are more easily obtained locally with out having to order them online. You can find shea butter in health food stores, dollar stores and walmart even at times or any store that sells soap making supplies.

1 and 1/3 Cups of Shea Butter

½ Cup of Olive Oil

1 tsp. Of Vitamin E Oil

½ ounce of fragrance oil*

You will want to heat the Shea Butter up slowly in a medium sized sauce pan until the Shea is in liquid form add in the olive oil onceyou achive liquid form of Shea Butter. Let the mixture then sit and cool for about 30 to 40 minutes. Do not let it set fully back up though. At this point you are going to add in the Vitamin E and the Fragrance Oil.

You will now want to use a stick blender to whip the mixture until its very light in texture. It will give off a "mousse" like consistency. Make sure you have blended your fragrance oil and vitamin E oil in well. When selecting your fragrance oil choose something you will like as this whipped body butter will be an all over body delight.

When you have reached the desired consistency you can spoon your finished product into some kind of container. I have used everything from glass jars to glad containers. You can use any type of container as long as it has some sort of lid you will not want to expose this to air for long periods of time. Do not over pack the whipped body butter or you will defeat the purpose of it being whipped and light.
