Coco-Nutter Body Butter |

| |
This nut oil based cream is very rich and has a whipped butter consistency. It goes on smoothly and absorbs very well. It's perfect for dry summer and winter skin.
Ingredients
60 grams Distilled Water
10 grams Virgin Coconut Oil
8 grams Macadamia Nut Oil
8 grams Sweet Almond Oil
5 grams Shea Butter
11 grams Emulsifying Wax
2 grams Stearic Acid
- Combine oils, butter, wax, and steric acid in a heat proof container and heat in a hot water bath until all ingredients are melted. Stir to combine.
- Heat water separately until slightly warm.
- With a hand mixer, start beating oil/wax mixture. Slowly pour water into the oil mixture and continue beating on low until it takes on a creamy, buttery consistency.
- Add fragrance oil or essential oil (no more than 1/2 teaspoon or so, if desired) after the mixture cools a bit and then transfer into jars.
A little goes a long way with this cream, so use sparingly. Use it anywhere that needs intense moisture or give to your skin a little extra pampering.
