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 in a double boiler. Leave the melted mixture on low heat for another 20 minutes to prevent the butter from developing a grainy texture as it 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 add the essential oils while stirring.
4. The mixture can be cooled in a cold water bath, stirring occasionally with a cream whisk or a wire whisk.
5. Before the mixture solidifies, pour it into the prepared container and allow it to cool completely.

3. Add the remaining ingredients (essential oils and vitamin) and mix well until you get a smooth, spreadable paste.
4. Scrape the butter into the prepared container and store in a dry, dark and cool place.
