Body butter

Body butter is a fairly simple product to make at home.  It does take time however.  For this recipe, you will need 4oz. Shea butter, 2oz. Coconut oil, and 1oz. Coffee infused almond oil, plus 10 drops of coffee essential oil (optional).  Note that this is a very soft body butter, it melts on contact.  For a harder product, use cocoa butter in place of part or all of the Shea butter.

Step 1. Weigh Shea butter & coconut oil and place in heat proof glass bowl

Step 2. Melt the butter and oil in the oven at 250deg

Step 3. Allow the butter and oil to cool until it becomes opaque.  This can be done in the freezer for a few minutes or on a frozen rice pack as shown below.

Step 4. When it is starting to turn opaque, add the coffee infused almond oil and whip

Step 5. Keep whipping, if you need to put it back in the freezer for a few minutes, do so.

Step 6. Once the body butter starts to look like a whipped frosting, add the essential oil

Step 7. Once it is forming stiff peaks, it is ready to package.

Step 8. Package in a sterilized jar.  Close tightly and label.  Use within 6 months.
