Creamy Mango and Shea Body Butter
Now, if you’re anything like me, your skin gets seriously thirsty in the winter. This creamy mango and shea body butter is the ultimate homemade rescue, whipping up a luxurious, tropical-scented treat that feels like a spa day in a jar. It’s surprisingly simple to make and leaves your skin feeling unbelievably soft and nourished.
Serving: 1 jar (about 8 oz) | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of unrefined shea butter
- 1/4 cup of cold-pressed coconut oil
- 1/4 cup of sweet almond oil
- 2 tbsp of beeswax pastilles
- 1 tsp of vibrant mango fragrance oil
- 10 drops of pure vitamin E oil
Instructions
- Set up a double boiler by placing a heat-safe glass bowl over a saucepan filled with 2 inches of simmering water.
- Add the 1/2 cup of unrefined shea butter and the 2 tbsp of beeswax pastilles to the glass bowl. Tip: Chopping the shea butter into small chunks first helps it melt faster and more evenly.
- Stir the mixture gently with a silicone spatula until both the shea butter and beeswax are completely liquid and clear, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the glass bowl from the heat using oven mitts and carefully set it on a heat-safe surface like a trivet.
- Immediately whisk in the 1/4 cup of cold-pressed coconut oil and the 1/4 cup of sweet almond oil until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Let the mixture cool at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, until it thickens slightly and feels lukewarm to the touch. Tip: Cooling it first prevents the fragrance from evaporating when you add it.
- Once cooled, vigorously whisk the mixture with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until it becomes light, fluffy, and doubles in volume.
- Add the 1 tsp of vibrant mango fragrance oil and the 10 drops of pure vitamin E oil to the whipped butter. Tip: The vitamin E acts as a natural preservative to extend your butter’s shelf life.
- Whisk everything together for another 30 seconds on low speed to fully incorporate the oils without deflating the mixture.
- Scoop the finished body butter into a clean, 8-ounce glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, pressing it down gently to remove any air pockets.
Let this butter set at room temperature for about 2 hours until firm. The final texture is incredibly rich and whipped, melting into your skin without any greasy residue. That bright, summery mango scent is pure happiness, making it a perfect gift or a little luxury to keep all for yourself.
