Notes
You can use what ever oils you wish if you don’t like any of the oil in this recipe. Just make sure you keep the ratio 75% solid to 25% liquid.
It’s important to chill before whipping, If you don’t chill it properly, it won’t whip or stay whipped.
Leaving it 30 minutes in the freezer usually does the trick.
You should store in a cool place. The body butter may melt if your home is above 75 degrees. You can store in your refrigerator to keep it solid if it melts.
