Recipe: Decadent Sweet Elf Whipped Body Butter
Create a fluffy, deeply moisturizing body butter that smells exactly like a holiday treat, using the Sweet Elf Fragrance Oil.
Ingredients:
-
Seventy grams Shea Butter (Primary Emollient)
-
Twenty grams Coconut Oil (Melting and smoothing agent)
-
Ten grams Jojoba Oil (Liquid carrier oil)
-
One gram (approx. 20 drops) Fragrance Oil "Sweet Elf" (The Scent)
-
One gram Vitamin E Oil (Antioxidant and skin benefit)
Instructions for Preparation:
First Step: Combine the Shea Butter and Coconut Oil in a heat-safe bowl. Gently melt the mixture using a double boiler until barely liquefied. Do not overheat.
Second Step: Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the liquid Jojoba Oil. Place the mixture in the freezer or refrigerator for approximately twenty to thirty minutes until the oils begin to solidify around the edges but remain soft in the center (a butter-like consistency).
Third Step: Once cooled and partially solidified, add the Fragrance Oil "Sweet Elf" and the Vitamin E Oil.
Fourth Step: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, begin whipping the mixture on medium-high speed. Whip for approximately five to eight minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally, until the mixture transforms into a light, fluffy, and airy whipped butter texture.
Fifth Step: Gently transfer the finished, fragrant whipped body butter into clean, wide-mouth jars.
Recommendations for Application and Storage:
-
Concentration: A 1% concentration of the Sweet Elf Fragrance Oil is sufficient to give the body butter a lasting, beautiful sweet and minty aroma.
-
Whipping Technique: Proper cooling and thorough whipping are key to achieving the desired light, airy texture. If the butter becomes grainy, re-melt, cool further, and whip again.
-
Usage: Apply a small amount to clean, damp skin after showering. The butter will melt on contact and leave behind the moisturizing oils and the enchanting holiday aroma.
-
Storage: Store the body butter in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight to prevent it from melting or losing its whipped texture.
