How to Make Avocado Body Butter
Body butter is a soothing lotion that softens and rejuvenates your skin. When paired with avocado, it can be an even more delightful experience from extra softness to the invigorating scent. With a few ingredients and materials, you can easily make the perfect avocado body butter at home!
Collect the ingredients you'll need:
- Half an Avocado
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Butter (chunked or grated)
- 1 tablespoon Bees Wax (chunked or grated)
- 1 teaspoon Avocado Essential Oil (for scent)
- 1/2 teaspoon Vitamin E Oil (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Essential Oil (optional)
- Large, Shallow Pan
- Oven Safe Glass Bowl
- Wooden Spoon
- Small Tub
- Place the large shallow pan on the stovetop. Fill it 1/3 full with warm water. Turn the stovetop burner on medium heat.
- Place a medium sized oven safe glass bowl into the larger shallow pan on the stove.
- Carefully add all the ingredients into the glass dish one at a time.
- Let the ingredients melt until they are a single liquid unit. Do not let the ingredients boil. If they start to boil, turn the stovetop burner to a lower setting and gently stir the mixture with a wooden spoon to distribute the heat evenly. If the ingredients are not melting, turn the stovetop burner to a higher setting.
- Mix the ingredients gently together with the wooden spoon. Make sure to mix the ingredients slow and careful.
- Pour the mixture into the small tub. You may need to use multiple tubs. If the glass bowl is hot, wait until it cools or wear oven mitts to hold onto it.
