1/2 ounce beeswax
3 ounces herb-infused oil
2 ounces hydrosol
1 ounce aloe vera gel
essential oils of your choice
1/4 teaspoon borax powder

how to make

  • step one begin by melting the shea butter, mango butter, coconut oil, and beeswax in a double boiler or in a pan on very low heat.
  • step six when all the hydrosol mixture has been mixed in, the body butter can be poured into jars and labeled.
  • step five once the butter mixture has cooled, use a blender or mixer to begin to mix it. slowly add the hydrosol mixture.
  • step four while waiting for the butter mixture to cool, mix together the hydrosol, aloe vera gel, essential oils, and borax powder.
  • step three once the butters, oils, and wax are combined, pour it into the container you are going to mix it in. if you are using a blender, pour the mixture in the blender and set it aside until it is room temperature. if you are using a handheld mixer, stand mixer, or immersion blender, place it in the bowl you will use to whip it up.
  • step two once it has all melted, turn off the heat and slowly add the herb-infused oil. when you add the oil, you might notice parts of the liquid become solid again. sometimes you can just give it a little stir and everything will melt again. if not, it may need a tiny bit more heat to be sure that it all melts together.
