How to Make Gingerbread Body Butter
Gingerbread Body Butter is like holiday comfort in a jar — creamy, nourishing, and oh-so-good for your skin.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup shea butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons almond oil
- 1 tablespoon beeswax
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 20 drops vanilla oleoresin
- 10 drops cinnamon leaf essential oil
- 10 drops ginger essential oil
- 5 drops clove essential oil
Instructions
- In a double boiler, combine shea butter, coconut oil, almond oil, beeswax, ginger, and cinnamon. Heat gently until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and allow the mixture to sit at room temperature (or in the refrigerator) until it begins to harden but is not fully solid, about 30–45 minutes.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add your essential oils. Whip again briefly to blend everything evenly.
- Transfer your finished body butter into airtight jars or tins. Store in a cool, dry place and use within 6 months.
