Faboulous Body Butter

I don't know why I haven't tried making body butter before.  It's so easy!  It's a nice alternative to lotion.  If you are sensitive to certain ingredients, this is a great way to create a lotion to meet your needs without spending a fortune.  We made two different blends.  I need to give a little warning before we start.  This body butter will be preservative free.  You should try to use it up within 6 months of making it.  Also, a given container should be used by only one person.

Recipe #1 is on the left, lovely helper in the middle, Recipe #2 on the right

Body Butter Recipe #1
Yielded a softer, fluffier butter.  It resembles whipped shortening.
1/3 cup shea butter (I order mine from this site http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/)
1/3 cup coconut oil (I prefer the raw or less refined version that give a coconutty smell)
1/3 cup olive oil (the lighter the better)
1/2 teaspoon vitamin e oil (or break open 10 capsules of vitamin e)
10 drops clove essential oil (or essential oil of your choice)

Body Butter Recipe #2
Yielded a firmer, richer butter.  It smells like chocolate!  We tried using lavender essential oil with it, but the chocolate smell of the cocoa butter covered it.
1/3 cup cocoa butter (I order mine from this site http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/)
1/3 cup coconut oil (I prefer the raw or less refined version that give a coconutty smell)
1/3 cup olive oil (the lighter the better)
1/2 teaspoon vitamin e oil (or break open 10 capsules of vitamin e)
10 drops peppermint essential oil (or essential oil of your choice)

We followed the directions in this video from TheSquishyMonster.com  After the cocoa/shea butter, coconut oil, and olive oil were melted, we added the vitamin e and essential oils.  Then we whipped them with an electric mixer.  The stand type mixer worked better and faster, but a hand held mixer worked fine too.
