A Better Whipped Body Butter Part Two

By now, you have completed Part One of the Better Body Butter recipe.  If you haven't, please complete Part One and check back.

Whipped Body Butter can be made with ingredients likely found in your home, and makes for a perfect stocking stuffer, teacher gift, and much more.  Whipped Body Butter even replaces the following:

• shaving cream
• oil in baking
• lotion
• cuticle cream
• hair moisture mask

Now that you have completed the first phase, let's carry on with the recipe.

You have already melted and resolidified your oils.

Remove your (now very firm) oil blend from the fridge.  Allow to sit on the counter for 10 minutes, to bring closer to room temperature.  You can work with it from fridge temps, but it's much easier to manipulate once it's closer to the space around you.

After an overnight in the fridge, the oil blend is solid!

I flipped mine out on to a cutting board.

Feel free to cut in to cubes, or spoon out various sized hunks from your mixing bowl.

Transfer to the mixing bowl of your counter top mixer.  Using the whisk attachment, set to a medium speed and allow to whip for 10 minutes.  You may need to occasionally scrape the sides using a spatula.

It's firm and salve-like when first get started in the mixer.

On the spatula, you can see where it's silky white on top, and still golden underneath.  You want to achieve the silky white color throughout.  Use your spatula to push the sides down, and continue mixing.  

When it's ready, it will look like this (similar to creaming together butter and sugar):

All that's left to do is package it.  I use mason jars for most things, and am in love with the Avery label options to denote what's inside, but any storage vessel will hold up just fine.

It's worth noting that this is one of my favorite recipes to blend because the final product is so vastly different from the original.  Also, it leaves my skin feeling soft and supple.  If you don't want to make your own, but instead would like to purchase a jar of body butter, click here to visit my Etsy shop.
