Simple & Non-Greasy Body Butter

Ingredients

• 56% | 112g Shea Butter (I use refined)

• 20% | 40g Sunflower Oil

• 10.5% | 21g Grapeseed Oil

• 13% | 26g Arrowroot (optional)

• 0.5% | 1g Vitamin E Oil

Supplies

• Kitchen scale

• Medium sized mixing bowl or container

• Hand mixer or stand mixer

• 12 oz container or (2) 6 oz containers for storing butter

• Mixing utensils/silicone spatulas

Directions

1. In a medium sized bowl/container, add Shea butter, sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, and vitamin E oil. I suggest breaking the Shea butter into smaller chunks in order to mix it easier.

2. Mix on high with hand mixer or stand mixer for approximately 3-5 minutes.

3. Add arrowroot powder to same container and mix for another 2 minutes. I suggest mixing in the arrowroot powder with a silicone spatula or mixing utensil first then using the hand mixer (this helps prevent the powder from blowing everywhere).

4. If you opt to not add arrowroot powder, simply scrape the sides of your container (to make sure the whole batch is thoroughly mixed) and mix on high for another 2 minutes.

5. Store your whipped body butter in an air tight jar.

Notes

• Grapeseed oil and sunflower oil can be substituted for the liquid carrier oils of your choice. Please be aware that this may change the consistency and feel of the body butter.

• Arrowroot powder has been added to help cut down on the greasiness but can be omitted.

• I you would like to add a skin safe fragrance oil, I would recommend adding 0.5-1% (1-2 grams for original recipe) and subtracting this amount from the oil percentage

• If your Shea butter is grainy, you will need to follow the steps from this recipe https://www.charmedhandmade.com/post/lavender-double-whipped-body-butter
