I made this last year and didn't care for it as it's too oily for my skin. However, Mom loved it. It helped heal up a dry patch on her elbow and does wonders for her hands. I got a request to make her more as she's almost out and has started using it on Dad as well.
Simple whipped body butter
1/2 cup liquid oil
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup beeswax
1 tsp vitamin E oil
2 TBSP cocoa butter
A few drops of essential oil can be added if desired
Combine liquid oil, coconut oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter in double boiler.
Heat on medium stirring occasionally until melted. Pull off heat.
Add vitamin E oil and essential oils.
Let cool a few minutes then use wisk attachment on hand mixer to whip until it thick but still pourable.
Pour into waiting containers. Use a spatula to get out as it starts getting solid fast oncd it gets to this point.
I filled five, 2 oz containers with this recipe.
