Whipped Cacao Butter For Skin
Cacao butter is the fat source that gives chocolate its signature melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
The Fairtrade certified organic cacao butter from Wildly Organic is simply delightful. It smells intensely of rich chocolate, yet it is a light beige and gives you the most decadent cocoa butter body butter to pamper your senses.
The “by-product” of making raw cacao powder, cacao butter, is the oil pressed out of the cacao nib. Wildly Organic Cacao Butter is unrefined and never exposed to chemicals or solvents. It’s excellent for cooking and cacao butter recipes for your skin. This ultimate cacao butter lotion recipe is perfect for every season!
Using whipped cacao butter for skin will reap benefits! This cacao body butter recipe will make your skin feel silky, soft, and deeply moisturized.
Moisturizing Whipped Cacao Butter
It is amazingly simple to turn hard chunks of raw cacao butter into a fluffy and silky whipped cacao butter that sinks into the skin in a matter of minutes.
Just melt the ingredients, cool them, and whip until they look like delicious whipped cream.
Use different fats, like rich shea butter, switch up the fragrance with essential oils, or even spice your whipped body butter with cinnamon or nutmeg. The variations are endless!
Luxurious Whipped Cacao Body Butter for Silky Skin
Makes: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup Wildly Organic Raw Cacao Butter
- 1/2 cup Wildly Organic Centrifuge Extracted Coconut Oil
- 1/4 cup shea butter (optional or use more cacao butter instead)
- 1/2 tablespoon beeswax (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or water bath over low heat.
- As soon as the ingredients start to melt, remove from heat and transfer to the bowl of a stand-up mixer with a whisk attachment. Alternatively, you can use a hand mixer.
- Put the bowl in the refrigerator for 40-50 minutes. You want the oils just to begin to solidify. Note the color: the mixture will change color from transparent to opaque and become lighter.
- Whip with the whisk attachment (or the hand mixer), scraping down the sides, for about 5 minutes, or until it resembles whipped cream.
- Transfer to small mason jars.
- Keep this cacao body butter at room temperature for about two months.
Recipe Notes
- If the oils don't change consistency for a while once you start whisking, the mixture might not be cold enough. Place it in the refrigerator for a few more minutes and try again.
- I use beeswax in the summer only. It helps the whipped body butter to keep its fluffy consistency longer.
- I use refined beeswax because unrefined wax smells a little too strong for me. You can use your preferred beeswax.
