Peppermint Eucalyptus Whipped Body Butter

Mm! Be still my heart. Cocoa butter has the most amazing, slightly chocolate aroma. It's also quite beautiful in its own dusty, jagged way. So natural and pure. 

The main ingredients of this body butter are cocoa butter, shea butter, and coconut oil. 

The butters and oil all melted together.

The essential oils I used have a calming effect on the mind and a cooling effect on the skin. A small amount of avocado oil is added for it's hydrating and nutrient rich properties. It also supports skin elasticity. 

After cooling for a few hours, the mixture is whipped until very light in color and almost double in volume. And there! A wonderfully luxurious natural body butter :) I don't there's much that can beat that. 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup coconut oil 

3 TB Shea butter

3 TB cocoa butter

1/2 TB carrier oil (I used avocado oil)

3/4 Tsp castor oil (I used avocado oil)

6 drops eucalyptus essential oil

4 drops peppermint essential oil

Melt the coconut oil and butters in a bowl in the microwave for 15 second intervals. Try not to overheat them. Add the oils and the essential oils and mix well. Refrigerate the mixture until it's cool but still soft. It will become very firm if cooled for too long. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy and put in a container for use! Enjoy!
