How to Make Mint Chocolate Whipped Body Butter:

You’ll Need:

• An Electric Mixer (both Stand Mixers and Hand Mixers will work, but a blender will not)
• Medium Glass Bowl
• Measuring Spoons
• Spatula
• Stovetop (or Microwave)
• Fridge
• 4 oz Resealable Jars

Ingredients:

• Shea Butter – 3 tbsp
• Cocoa Butter – 2 tbsp
• Coconut Oil – 2 tbsp
• Almond Oil – 2 tbsp
• Jojoba Oil – 1 tbsp
• Tapioca Starch – 1/2 tbsp
• Vitamin E Oil – 1/4 tsp
• Peppermint Essential Oil – 3 to 4 drops

Instructions:

1. Melt the butters (Shea & Cocoa) and the oils (Coconut, Almond & Jojoba) together in the glass bowl in simmering water, or in a double boiler.
2. Remove the bowl and chill in the fridge until it’s opaque, about 30 minutes. It should look relatively solid when you take it out.
3. Add the Tapioca Starch, Vitamin E Oil, and 3-4 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil.
4. Whip until the mixture gets fluffy, this takes about 4 minutes.
5. Add your whipped body butter to resealable containers or small glass mason jars.
6. Label your creation, and gift to a friend – or keep for yourself!
