Body Butter

1 oz avocado oil
2 oz cocoa butter
2 oz beeswax (1/4 oz more if a stiffer bar is desired)
1 oz jojoba oil
1 oz mango butter
1/2 tsp. vitamin E
14 drops peppermint essential oil

Melt all but the last two ingredients in a double-boiler or at a very low temp in the microwave, as per your preference. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then add vitamin E and peppermint essential oil. Pour into 7 push-up tubes or two 4 oz. tins.

If you will be toting this around in your purse or hot car, or if you want a stiffer bar for the push-up tubes, add the extra beeswax. At room temperature this gives a very nice coating out of the stick, without the additional beeswax.

I know this post is old, but I had never heard of this website before ...... Fantastic! I used to live in the Bay Area so things were readily available, not so much here in Vegas.

Oh I know I'll enjoy the Keep hehe. I can't seem to get off the forum enough to clean... Is that a bad thing though?
