How to Make Whipped Coconut Body Butter

Body butter is a rich and indulgent experience, making it at home is easy and inexpensive. We love making all sorts of DIY beauty products like: Lemon Body Scrub, Shimmering Mermaid Body Scrub, Blackberry Vanilla Lip Scrub, Whipped Grapefruit Sugar Scrub and DIY Peppermint Foot Soak. This blend is fabulous year round- spicy and fragrant, you get the delicious bite of fresh ginger and the creamy light smell from coconut. The combination of oils, and shea butter leave your skin soft, silky, and moisturized all day. I love using ingredients that I have on hand to create amazing beauty products like scrubs and lotions- with no worries of unsafe chemicals and additives that store bought carries. We hope that you love this How to Make Whipped Coconut Body Butter post.

How to Make Whipped Coconut Body Butter

Ingredients

• ½ cup shea butter
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp coconut extract
• 2 tsp finely ground ginger powder or freshly ground ginger
• 8 ounce jar with lid or Ball mason jar

Directions

1. Combine shea butter, coconut oil and olive oil in a microwave safe dish. Heat in 20 second increments, stirring each time until liquified and blended.
2. Let rest on counter for 20 minutes to cool, then pop in refrigerator for about 20 minutes until it begins to set.
3. Scoop out partially set ingredients into the bowl of a hand or stand mixer (could also use food processor or blender). I prefer to use my trusty old KitchenAid mixer because it has worked for 20 years and it's always on our counter waiting for the next creation. Whip until smooth and fluffy.
4. Add in ginger powder or grate in fresh ginger. Approximately 2 tsp. of freshly ground ginger is an estimate; keep adding until it smells good.
5. Add coconut extract and mix again until full combined.
6. Remove from bowl and place in a container with an airtight lid; mason jars like these make a great presentation. Keep for yourself or give as a gift to others.
