Who doesn't love a rich and moisturising body butter?
But add a beautiful Essential Oil to the mix and dress it up in a beautiful amber jar with a handmade label and you have an extra special gift.
This recipe contains Shea Butter which us always a favourite of mine.
HOW TO:
- 75g Shea Butter
- 75g Coconut Oil
- 50g Fractionated coconut oil
- 10 drops of Wild Orange Essential Oil
- 10 drops of Grapefruit Essential Oil
- Nice gift Jar
- Avery label
- Digital stamps for label design from Kellie Stamps.
HOW TO:
- I used a Thermomix but you could easily make it in a double boiler on the stove - top
- Add Shea butter... coconut oil and fractionated coconut oil into the Thermomix bowl and melt 4-5 minutes/70C/speed 1-2 until its melted.
- Allow to cool and then add the Essential oils - Mix 10-15 sec/ speed 3 until well mixed.
- Place the bowl in the fridge until almost solid. It must feel thick and firm.
- Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Whip 30 - 40 seconds/ speed 5 until nice and fluffy.
- Transfer to a lovely jar
- Apply a handmade label - I created my label using digital stamp designs from Kellie Stamps.
