Whipped Butter

Sometimes it’s nice to take a break during your spring cleaning spree (unless, like us, you’ve been procrastinating - no judgment here), and what better way to chill than trying your hand at one of our DIY recipes! Except this time, you’re in for double trouble. We’ve compiled two different ways to make whipped butter, to offer you some flexibility and technique in mastering the art of making. Each of these recipes are fully customizable, as the first two ingredients act as a “base” for any kind of essential oil magic you want to whip up. These make great body moisturizers with their creamy, fluffy texture!

Technique #1: Softened Butter

Supplies:

Hand Mixer

Mixing Bowl

Jar or other container

Ingredients:

1 cup Yellow Shea Butter
