Cocoa butter in pellets - refined

Recipe for Mango & Citrus Body Butter

Ingredients for approx. 100 ml of butter:

·         10g beeswax or jojoba wax

·         25g cocoa butter

·         30g shea butter

·         25g mango butter

·         1 teaspoon (5ml) almond oil

·         1 teaspoon (5ml) vitamin E

·         20 drops of citrus essential oil (we suggest 10 drops of lime, 5 drops of orange, and 5 drops of lemon)

Method:

1. Melt the beeswax and the cocoa, shea, and mango butters over a double boiler. Leave the melted mixture on low heat for another 20 minutes to prevent a grainy texture from forming once the butter cools.

2. After 20 minutes, add the almond oil and vitamin E and heat on low heat for a few more minutes.

3. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the essential oils while mixing.

4. The mixture can be cooled in a cold water bath while stirring occasionally with a whisk or wire whip.

5. Before the mixture sets, pour it into a prepared container and allow it to cool completely.
