Whipped Lavender Body Butter Recipe

• 1 lb. Lavender Butter
• 1 oz. Orchid Extract
• 1 oz. Arrowroot Powder
• 6 mL Lavender Fine Essential Oil

The same can be done using all “butters“: Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Avocado Butter, Coffee Butter, Turmeric Butter and Matcha Green Tea Butter! Simply pick a skin loving extract and essential oil for your own custom whipped butter combination!

Another Fun Combination Would Be:

• 1 lb. Mango Butter
• 1 oz. Lotus Flower Extract
• 1 oz. Arrowroot Powder
• 6 mL Spa Essential Oil Blend

Whip The Butter

Put one pound of lavender butter into a glass mixing bowl and whip using a hand mixer. I picked this one up at a garage sale for $2 and now only use it for my beauty projects. Whip for about 30 seconds or until it’s completely smooth.

I’m not sure if it’s baby brain or that I’ve given up sugar for 30 days but boy did I have a craving to lick these beaters!!! Yuck! Hahahaha, it looks so much like frosting!

Add The Extract

Add 1 ounce of Orchid Extract to the whipped butter and gently whip it into the mixture. Then using a spatula wipe the sides of the bowl down to incorporate. Orchid extract helps to draw moisture to the skin.

Add The Essential Oil

Add 6mL of Lavender Fine Essential Oil to the mixture using a dropper. Gently whip it into the mixture then wipe the sides of the bowl down with the spatula again. Lavender essential oil is highly moisturizing.

Add The Arrowroot Powder

Add 1 ounce of Arrowroot Powder to the mixture and first fold into the butter with the spatula, then whip with the mixer for about 30 more seconds to finish the batch. Yes, that’s all there is to it! Arrowroot powder is added to lotions to prevent the feeling of “greasiness”.

Add The Whipped Butter To The Bail Jars

Using a spoon, transfer your whipped body butter to the bail jars. Finish the top with a little smoothing circular motion.

Label

Print our free “You’ve Got Me Whipped” labels onto 8.5″ x 11″ sticker paper. Then cut out each label, add to the tops of the jars, and finish with a bow!

Try Something New!

If you’ve never tried your hand at beauty “DIY” this would be the perfect project! It’s super easy and the result is so luxurious that even if you only made it for yourself, it would be such a treat. Although I’m sure your besties would love a special handmade gift like this!
