To Make :
This body butter recipe is so easy and fun to make.
Put the Mango Butter and Shea Butter into a pan and melt - you can either use a double boiler or place a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water. You could be brave and melt the butters in a microwave.
Once the butters have melted add your Avocado Oil and stir well.
Allow to cool and then place in the fridge or freezer until the mixture looks like slush.
Now it's ready to whip using an electric whisk or if you are feeling full of energy you can use a hand whisk until it looks like whipped cream.
Once it is whipped transfer into clean jars with a lid.
