Whipped "Bronzing" Body Butter

Whipped Bronzing Body Butter

Hormonal Help

This was a fun fun one to make! Ingredients I used were Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, Cacao Powder, Ylang Ylang[buy here], Wild Orange[buy here], and Clary Sage[buy here].

I forgot to take a photo of the oils melted.. But I melted, in my make shift double boiler, 1 cup Cocoa Butter and 1/2 cup Coconut Oil. Then I took 2 tbsp of Cacao Powder and slowly mixed in 1/2 cup of Sweet Almond Oil in a separate bowl. Let the melted oils cool just a bit the add your Cacao and Almond mixture. Store in freezer for 10-15 minutes. You don't want it hard but solid enough to mix.

Now it's time to pull out the mixer.. I use a simple hand mixer with a whisk attachment to add the air for the fluffy texture!

After I mix and get a pretty fluffy texture I add in my essential oils. The amount of the drops you use are totally up to you.

This whipped body butter looked even better than the other one I made that morning. It went from marshmallow fluff to brownie batter fluffed. :) 

So lets talk some benefits of this Whipped Body Butter

[my husband hates that it's call body butter, ha ha, men].

I added Ylang Ylang Essential oil because it can be attributed to its properties as an antidepressant, antiseborrheic, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, hypotensive, nervine and sedative substance. Check out Ylang Ylang Benefits for more.

I added Wild Orange mostly because it smells delicious with the Cacao but also for all it's great benefits. Orange can be attributed to its properties as an anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, antispasmodic, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, carminative, diuretic, tonic, sedative and cholagogue substance. Check out Orange Benefits for more.

I added Clary Sage oil can be attributed to its properties like antidepressant, anti convulsive, anti spasmodic, anti septic, aphrodisiac, astringent, bactericidal, carminative, deodorant, digestive, emmenagogue, euphoric, hypotensive, nervine, sedative, stomachic and uterine. Check out Clary Sage Benefits for more.

The oils in this butter are to aide in helping with hormonal issues and high blood pressure. Specifically why I made this. There are plenty of other benefits and other oils to help with these issues these are just the ones I chose to use. And also to add a little color to your light skin. :)

Enjoy!
