Easy Whipped Body Butter Recipe (2024)

Luxurious, decadent, and delicious (in a noneating kind of way) is the only way to describe this easy whipped body butter recipe.

UPDATED 12-23

Today I’m sharing a really decadent goodie with y’all. How does an easy Whipped Body Butter recipe sound?

It sounds yummy! And it really is yummy.
All edible ingredients but I don’t suggest eating it. hee hee

I do suggest slathering it from head to toe, however.

And it truly is about as easy as it gets. Plus, it’s all natural.
That can’t be beat!

You can make this treat for you (I suggest you do, I do) and you can make it for a loved one for Mother’s Day. (that’s what I’m doing too!)

Have you ever made or heard of whipped body butter?
It’s so creamy, light and smooth.

It’s amazing how light and fluffy it gets.

Good stuff.

WEIGH YOUR SOLID INGREDIENTS

First, you need to weigh out yourhard, solid ingredients. (Cocoa Butter)

CHOP AND MELT THE SOLIDS

Chop it up into smaller pieces and place it into a small pot to melt.

Be sure to heat on very low heat, stirring constantly.
Take it off the heat when you still have a few solid pieces floating around.
You don’t want this to get too hot, and they will melt from the heat.

Place it into the refrigerator and cool until it has thickened.
Be sure you don’t leave it so long that it gets too thickened and hardened.
You want it somewhat thickened and no longer hot to the touch.

MEASURE SOFT BUTTERS

While that’s cooling, measure your soft butteringredients. (Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Avocado Butter)

WHIP SOFT BUTTERS

Place them in the mixing bowl and whip them up.

I used unrefined, raw butters.
They do have a smell so if you want to be able to add your own scent (essential oils, etc) then be sure to purchase refined, deodorized butters instead.
I like the natural smell and less processing is always better. Cocoa Butter smells like chocolate. Yum.
Shea Butter smells similar but has sort of a nutty smell. So, I’d say a nutty chocolate-ish scent.
With all that said, I do use the unrefined butters sometimes.

And just a little note about all of this stuff.
Icreatedand owned, for 7-8 years, a soy candle and natural products online businessback in 1999-2007.
I made all sorts of natural things like soy candles, body butter, lotion bars, room sprays, perfumes, lotion, etc…. including handmade natural soap.
And still do!
We haven’t used commercial soap in years and are about out of soap over here so I’ll be making some more soon.
I may share another blog post (and video if I’m feeling adventurous!!haha ) about it here.
In the meantime, you can read all about it in a post I wrote here, Natural Soap Making – A Tutorial in Photos

ADD LIQUID OILS TO MELTED SOLIDS

Okay, so next add any liquid oils in the recipe to your melted cocoa butter.
In this case, add the Jojoba Oil.
If you’d like to add scent, this would be the time to add it.
You can use any essential oils you like. If you are using an unrefined (naturally scented) butter, I’d suggest Orange or Mint essential oils.
Those would blend nicely with the natural chocolate scent.
Or you can leave it as is. The scent is very nice alone.

SLOWLY POUR THE MELTED OIL BLEND INTO THE SOFT CREAMED BUTTERS

Once that is done, slowly pour the melted oils into the creamed soft butters very slowly, while beating.
I used my Kitchen Aid Mixerwith the whip attachment.

WHIP

Whip it, whip it good.
Ha…sorry, couldn’t resist! Now that song is stuck in your head, right? lol

Do you see how whippy it got? Isn’t that the neatest thing?

So smooth and creamy.

ADD STARCHES/POWDERS

Once it is mostly whipped, add in the tapioca starch or arrowroot powder.
Either will work so just use whatever you may have on hand.
This will take some of the “greasy” feel away and give more of a “silky” feel instead.

FILL JARS

Then just spoon them into your jars.
You can also use a sandwich bag (ziplock), fill it, cut the corner off, and squeeze it neatly into your jars.
I shared the locking lid, and hinged jars in the photos above but I also used these canning jars…

Both are nice and easy to scoop out of.

You can use other butter and oils in this recipe. There are so many out there!
Be sure to follow the hard butter, soft butter directions though.
Also, if you’d like to create more of a stand-alone “lotion bar” product, reverse the cocoa butter and shea butter amounts in this whipped body butter recipe.
Then skip the “whipping” part of the recipe. Just melt everything pour into molds and cool.

Here’s the easy whipped body butter recipe for you to print out…

Since this recipe does not contain water, you don’t need to add a preservative.
You can add one if you’d like. Here are a few:
Grapefruit Seed Extract
Vitamin E
Rosemary Oil Extract

I hope you’ll give this a try! It’s so nice to have something homemade AND good for you.
Plus, what’s better than knowing exactly what you put onto your skin….and knowing it’s nothing but goodness.

ENJOY!
