Supplies Needed

Directions:

Combine shea butter, coconut oil, almond oil, and 1 tsp. ginger, in a microwave safe dish.

• Melt in microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each until completely liquid.

• Allow mixture to cool on the counter for about 20 minutes, then place in refrigerator for 15 minutes or until it begins to set a little.

• Remove and place ingredients in the bowl of a hand/stand mixer, food processor, or blender.

• Add remaining ginger, vanilla extract, vitamin E, and cinnamon. Mix until fluffy and smooth- it will look like homemade whipped cream or cake batter.

• Scoop body butter into wide mouthed jars with an airtight lid to store. Can be left at room temperature and will be a very soft mixture, for a more firm texture keep in refrigerator.
