Tips & variations
Once you have made your body butter melts, here are a few ways to get a great result and make it your own.
- Whip it once cooled but still soft for that light, fluffy texture; too warm and it stays runny.
- Keep it away from heat, body butter can melt and lose its whip on a hot day.
- Do a small patch test first whenever you try a new fragrance or ingredient.
Make it your own: change the fragrance or essential oil, or tweak the colour to suit the season.
