What you need

2 oz (55g) Shea butter
1 tsp Jojoba oil
1 tsp Apricot oil
1 oz (30g) coconut oil
1/4 tsp of peppermint essential oil
A few drops of green coloring

Instructions

In a clean mixing bowl, combine all of your base ingredients—making sure the butters are soft enough to blend smoothly. You can use a hand mixer or whisk for a light, whipped texture that feels luxurious on the skin. Once everything is well incorporated, add your chosen essential oil (peppermint, in this case) and continue mixing until the scent is evenly distributed throughout the body butter.

Transfer the finished mixture into a clean, airtight container—preferably glass or BPA-free plastic. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its freshness and potency.

To use, simply scoop out a small amount and massage it generously into dry areas of your skin. This whipped peppermint body butter is especially soothing after a shower or before bed, leaving your skin feeling soft, nourished, and refreshingly cool.
