I Love My Body Butter Bars

Source of Recipe


Donna Maria



List of Ingredients



• 1 cup shea butter
  
• 1 cup cocoa butter
  
• 1 cup sweet almond oil
  
• 2 cups beeswax
  
• ½ cup jojoba oil
  
• ½ cup virgin coconut oil
  
• ¼ tsp rose absolute
  
• ¼ tsp cocoa absolute
  






Instructions



1. Measure the butters, sweet almond oil and beeswax into a Pyrex measuring cup and place the cup into a bath of boiling water. When the wax is nearly completely melted, remove the cup from the water and stir the ingredients to thoroughly combine.
   
   
2. Allow the mixture to cool for about 1 minute before adding the jojoba oil and virgin coconut oil, and stirring to mix. Add the rose and cocoa absolute, and stir to combine. Pour into molds of your choice. I usually use ¼-ounce molds shaped like ovals so they fit nicely into the hands, but you can use any mold you like.
   
   
3. Allow the bars to cool completely before using. Space permitting, pop them into the freezer immediately after pouring -- this seems to enhance the texture of the finished bars.
   
   
   To Use:
   Warm a bar between your palms to transfer some of the oils and butter to your palms. Massage dry skin with your oil-infused palms to soothe and moisturize.
