Ingredients

• ½ cup shea butter
• ½ cup cocoa butter
• ½ cup coconut oil
• ½ cup Fractionated Coconut Oil
• 15 drops Grapefruit oil*
• 15 drops Wild Orange oil*

Instructions

1. Measure all butters and oils in a glass jar.
2. Fill a large skillet/saucepan with one to one and a half inches of water. Bring to a boil.
3. Once boiling, add the glass jar to the center of the saucepan to melt and combine the ingredients.
4. Stir every few minutes until the ingredients are melted and combined (10–15 minutes). Tip: Use a popsicle stick to stir for easy cleanup.
5. Once everything is melted, remove from heat and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. Add the desired essential oils.
6. Once the essential oils are added, let it rest in a cool place (such as the refrigerator) until it has set.
7. Once chilled, take out of the refrigerator. With a stand or hand mixer, start on low and slowly turn the speed higher until the lotion becomes light and fluffy (around 3–5 minutes).
8. Note: Store the mixture in a glass jar and keep it in a cool place. If needed, re-fluff the body butter by whipping it back up to the desired consistency with a hand mixer.
