Body Butter Whip
- 4 ounces cocoa butter, scented (deodorized)
- 6 ounces virgin coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 5 -7 ml mandarin essential oils (cold pressed) (optional)
- Grate or shave the cocoa butter to help it melt faster and more evenly.
- Melt the cocoa butter slowly on low heat or in a double boiler.
- Once the cocoa butter is melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Stir in the virgin coconut oil. (The heat from the cocoa butter will melt the coconut oil.).
- Once the mixture starts to solidify, whip it with an electric hand mixer.
- While beating, sift the cornstarch over the mixture.
- Continue to beat.
- Add in the essential oils if desired.
- Continue to beat until light, fluffy and cool.
- This can range from 5 minutes up to 15 minutes depending on how warm your mixture is to begin with and the ambient room temperature.
- Package in pretty 4 oz plastic jars or plastic bail jars.
