I really hope you enjoy this Whipped Body Butter! It’s my go-to to keep my skin smooth all year round, but especially in the winter months. If you do get a chance to make it, I’d love to hear from you in the comments below. This body butter whips up to be fluffy and light and goes onto your skin like a dream. It also makes an incredible homemade gift! It’s made without arrowroot powder, cornstarch, or tapioca starch, so it’s just pure moisturizing for you skin and a little goes a long ways. Remove it from the heat and add the vanilla jojoba oil. You will see the body butter begin to thicken as you stir it over the ice. Be careful not to chill it too much or it will begin to harden into lumps. The safest and easiest option is to let it cool to room temperature naturally. But if you’re in a hurry like me, just stir it constantly until it becomes opaque. If for any reason the shea butter becomes grainy, simply remelt it and let it cool to room temperature before trying to whip it. Chilling the mixing bowl really helps the body butter fluff up when you whip it.
