Today I’m sharing with y’all what has been my go-to Nontoxic DIY whipped body butter for the last 10 years! 🤩 It’s so hydrating and easy to make. How to shop my ingredients is included below 😉
It’s safe to say that I absolutely love this stuff! It’s silky smooth and unbelievable hydrating without all the hidden junk found in storebought body butters and lotions. I’m talking no fillers, no preservatives, no endocrine disruptors, no artificial fragrance or any other funky junk brands like to toss in their products. Just good-for-you ingredients that will hydrate your skin. You can use it from your face to your feet, and it’s gentle on sensitive skin (I can hear the harps playing!)
Here’s my basic recipe that you can customize to your own liking.
1/2 cup Pure Unrefined Shea Butter
(Substitutes are Cocoa Butter or Mango Butter)
1/2 cup Organic, Unrefined, Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
2 teaspoons Arrowroot Powder or Corn Starch
1 Tbsp Organic Vegetable Glycerin
5-10 drops Essential Oil of choice (Optional)
Melt together Shea Butter and Coconut Oil. Add in Arrowroot Powder or Corn Starch. Stir to combine. Place in the refrigerator until the mixture solidifies. Once solidified, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to whip up the body butter until it’s the consistency of whipped butter. Add in vegetable glycerin and essential oil, if using. Continue to beat until well combined. Place in a lidded container and store in a cool dry place. If stored in a warm location, it could melt. Use within 6 months.
