Prep Time15 minutes mins
Cook Time5 minutes mins
Cooling Time20 minutes mins
Total Time40 minutes mins
Add all ingredients to a double boiler or small glass bowl placed over a small saucepan of lightly simmering water. Stir until ingredients are melted together.
Transfer oil mixture to another bowl and allow to cool slightly. Move bowl to refrigerator and cool until mixture begins to turn cloudy and starts to thicken. Note that this process doesn't take very long, so remember to check on it every 10 minutes or so.
Whip mixture with a hand mixture until it lightens in color and becomes creamy (see note).
Store in an airtight container or jar. Use sparingly on your skin as you would any moisturizer.
Recipe can be scaled to make as much or as little as you want. I used ΒΌ cup of each ingredient, to make a total of 1 cup of body butter.
Whipping can be skipped, but the resulting product will be much more solid.
