Ingredients
Turmeric-Infused Oil
- 2 tablespoons dried turmeric root or turmeric powder
- 1/2 cup carrier oil
Body Butter
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons turmeric-infused oil
- 30 drops turmeric essential oil
Instructions
- Infuse the turmeric in the carrier oil for 2–4 weeks or use the quick double boiler method.
- Strain the infused oil.
- Combine the coconut oil, turmeric-infused oil, and turmeric essential oil in a mixing bowl.
- Whip with a hand mixer for 3–5 minutes until fluffy.
- Transfer to a clean glass jar and allow to set.
Notes
- Refined coconut oil has very little scent, while unrefined coconut oil adds a mild coconut aroma.
- Because this recipe contains no water, a preservative is not required.
- The natural golden color may temporarily stain light-colored fabrics if applied heavily.
- Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes before whipping for a firmer texture.
- Add 1 tablespoon of shea butter for an even richer body butter.
