Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Whipped Body Butter Recipe:
Ingredients:
3/4 cup shea butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
15 drops Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Oil
5 drops vitamin E oil (optional)
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
Instructions:
- Melt the shea butter and coconut oil in a double boiler.
- Once melted, remove from heat and place the bowl in the freezer for about 20 minutes until it starts soft but not solid.
- Add Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin oil and vitamin E oil if desired.
- Slowly incorporate arrowroot powder while mixing with a hand mixer.
- Continue mixing until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
- Transfer your homemade body butter to an airtight container.
How to Use:
Massage in to clean dry skin.
Notes: The secret to non-greasy homemade lotion is the arrowroot powder, which helps absorb excess oil and provides the perfect consistency. Shea butter is a fantastic choice for sensitive or rash-prone skin, but you can also substitute it with Mango Butter or Cocoa Butter if you prefer.
Cinnamon Orange Clove Whipped Sugar Scrub Recipe:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup Foaming Bath Butter
15-20 drops Cinnamon Orange Clove fragrance oil (adjust to your preference)
Saffron mica powder (optional for color)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, add 1/2 cup of coconut oil. If your coconut oil is solid, gently heat it until it’s in liquid form, then let it cool slightly.
- Incorporate 1/4 cup of the foaming bath butter into the mixture. This base will provide a creamy texture to your scrub.
- Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the coconut oil. Mix them together until well combined.
- Add 15-20 drops of Cinnamon Orange Clove fragrance oil to the mixture. Adjust the amount to achieve your desired scent strength.
- To add color, mix in mica powder until you achieve the desired hue. Start with a small amount and add more as needed to reach your preferred shade.
- Whip with a hand mixer for 3-5 minutes or until the scrub reaches a light and fluffy consistency, similar to whipped cream.
- Carefully transfer the whipped sugar scrub into an airtight container. Make sure it’s clean and dry before filling.
How to Use:
To use, take a small amount of the scrub and gently massage it onto wet skin in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Enjoy the exfoliation and aromatic experience!
