**Ingredients:**
– 40% Shea Butter

– 1-2% Cornstarch (optional for a silky finish)
– 0.5-1% Essential Oil (optional, for a delightful fragrance)
**Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients**
Collect all the ingredients needed for this silky body butter. Ensure you have a double boiler, mixing bowls, and a hand or stand mixer ready.
**Step 2: Melt Shea Butter and Coconut Oil**
Using a double boiler, gently melt 40% shea butter and 40% coconut oil until fully liquid. This creates the rich, hydrating base of your body butter.
**Step 3: Add Sweet Almond Oil and Extras**
Remove the mixture from heat and stir in 20% sweet almond oil. For an extra silky texture, add 1-2% cornstarch. If you desire a lovely scent, incorporate 0.5-1% of your favorite essential oil.
**Step 4: Cool in the Refrigerator**
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. You want it to harden slightly but remain soft.

Take the cooled mixture and use a hand or stand mixer to whip it until it becomes light and fluffy. This step adds a luxurious texture to your body butter.
