Instructions
Melt the Butters and Wax
- Add shea butter, cocoa butter, mango butter, and beeswax to a heat-safe container.Place over a double boiler and melt gently, stirring occasionally until fully liquid.
Add the Carrier Oil
- Remove from heat and stir in the sweet almond oil until fully combined.
Let It Cool
- Allow the mixture to cool until it becomes slightly cloudy and begins to thicken.This step is key to achieving a light, whipped texture.
Add Arrowroot, Vitamin E and Essential Oils
- Stir in arrowroot powder, essential oil, and vitamin E oil until smooth.
Whip Until Fluffy
- Allow to cool completely. It will be hard and a balm-like consistency. Using a hand mixer, whip the mixture until it becomes light and airy.
Transfer to a Jar
- Spoon into a clean container and seal. It will harden back up a bit when cooled, but will retain the light whipped consistency.
