Instructions:
1. Melt the butters:
Melt the shea butter and cocoa butter carefully in a glass or small pot in a double boiler until completely liquid.
2. Stir in the oil:
Add the almond or jojoba oil and mix thoroughly.
3. Add fragrance (optional):
Stir in the essential oil.
4. Cool & whip:
Let the mixture cool slightly (do not let it harden). Whip with a whisk or hand mixer for 2–3 minutes until creamy – this will make the body butter airy and smooth.
5. Fill:
Pour into a clean screw-top jar and let it cool completely.
6. Done:
Apply the body butter to the skin as needed – particularly rich for hands, arms, legs, and dry spots in autumn.
