INSANELY EASY WHIPPED BODY BUTTER RECIPE
Let me guess:
It’s either filled with questionable ingredients or wildly expensive. Or both. (Here’s a list of
chemicals to avoid in body lotion.)
Like you, I’ve been seeking a natural alternative to those bottles of creamy (but chemical-
laden) conventional lotions.
Coconut oil has always been a top contender, but it wasn’t until I tried a new coconut oil
body butter recipe that I finally found my personal holy grail moisturizer.
WHY WHIPPED BODY BUTTER WITH
COCONUT OIL?
I’ve been having an on again, off again love affair with coconut oil as a moisturizer for a few
years now.
Why?
But we don’t always get along, and in the winter things get hard. Literally. I practically need a
jackhammer to get enough coconut oil out of the jar to moisturize my dry winter skin.
This is a serious problem, because I’m a big fan of convenience, and wrestling with a jar of
coconut oil isn’t exactly my cup of tea in the wee hours of the morning.
Heating the jar to melt the oil never worked for me, either, because I chronically forgot to do
it!
So most of the time I’d end up digging it out with my fingernails, or I’d just give up and go
back to my old lotion stand-by.
But deep down I felt there was a way to work things out. Coconut oil and I were meant to
moisturize together. I just needed to figure out the how.
One day I ran across a recipe for whipped shea butter, and this got me thinking:
Well, by golly, I had a brand new KitchenAid mixer sitting on my counter (my husband sure
knows how to melt a girl’s heart on Christmas!) and five gallons of coconut oilsitting in my
pantry.
Want to try it out? Here’s how you can make great homemade body butter with
whipped coconut oil:
It also only takes a few measly minutes, and you’ll have enough whipped body butter to last
at least a month or two. In fact, if you get carried away, put some in an attractive jarand it
makes a great gift!
It feels sinfully luxurious as a moisturizer, and yet an entire jar of it costs less than $2 to make
if you buy your coconut oil in bulk.
1 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional)
a few drops of your favorite essential oils for fragrance (where to buy essential oils online)
What to do:
1. Put all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Note: Do not melt the coconut oil first. It will
only whip up if it’s solid.
2. Mix on high speed with a wire whisk for 6-7 minutes or until whipped into a light, airy
consistency.
3. Spoon the whipped coconut oil body butter into a glass jar and cover tightly. Store at room
temperature, or in the refrigerator if your house is so warm it melts the oil.
Body Butter Ingredients
1/2 cup Shea Butter
1/2 cup Cocoa Butter or Mango Butter
2. Bring to medium heat and stir constantly until all ingredients are
melted.
3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add essential oils if using.
4. Move to fridge and let cool another 1 hour or until starting to harden
but still somewhat soft.
5. Use a hand mixer to whip for 10 minutes until fluffy.
Directions:
1. Place coconut oil, cocoa butter, and shea butter in a medium sized pot
over low heat. Stir to combine until it melts completely. Remove from heat.
3. Chill in your refrigerator for an hour or two. You want the mixture to firm
up without getting too hard.
4. Once chilled, use a stand mixer (I love my kitchen aid with whip
attachment) or hand mixer to mix until you get a decadent whipped
consistency. Scoop into a jar or container. As long as you are using quality
oils this homemade lotion should last for 6 – 12 months at room
temperature. If your home is extra toasty it may melt but you can re-chill
and whip it up again with no problem.
*NOTE: If you are making this whipped body butter for little bodies you may
want to choose a different oil like lavender which is more highly recommended
for small children.
As with all homemade beauty products, make sure you follow these simple
safety guidelines.
