Body butter process
Oct. 12th, 2012 04:07 pm3 oz of cocoa butter (or any solid oil)
6 oz shea butter
3 oz liquid oil grape seed, jojoba, or sweet almond oily
If you use shea butter make sure to not burn it. The best way to do that is to add it after you melt everything else.
Then We decided to try to make something more neutral smelling so we used a beeswax instead of coca butter and then doubled the rest. We added Creme Brule fragrance and it was awesome.
We'll see how it is.
Edit: We put this in the freezer and whipped it after 5 minutes, but on the third round is was pretty hard and we felt despondent. So we left it over night ate ice cream.
This morning we melted it down, added more shea butter (about 1/3 cup) and about 1/2c of sweet almond oil. And whipped it after being in the freezer for 5 minutes twice. It was perfect. So we jarred it on up and are letting it sit.
It melts at a touch and smells like frosting. So. Yummy.
