There are unlimited possible combinations that you can use to make your own body butter lotions. These are some general instruction ideas, but you can change this around to create your own special blends.
What you'll need:
- 4.5 oz. of unrefined shea butter
- 4.5 oz. virgin coconut oil
- 4 oz. mango butter
- 2 oz. grape seed oil, virgin coconut oil, neem oil, shea nut oil, or a combination of these or other natural oils.
- 1 oz. of vitamin E oil
Heat the mango butter until melted in hot water bath or in microwave for 30 second intervals. Add the shea butter, virgin coconut oil, and oils to the melted oil. Place in the microwave to soften, but not melt all the way. Mix in a blender on low. Once that is done, you can then turn your mixer on high and let it whip. Once completely mixed add fragrance and mix by hand until blended and then mix on high until all blended.
