Method

Melt the beeswax, cocoa butter and shea butter together in a pot on the stove.
With an electric beater, mix the urea, glycerine and aqueous cream.
Warm the aqueous mixture gently in the microwave.
Slowly add the melted oils to the warmed aqueous mixture, beating together.
The secret is in the beating: let it cool, beat it, let it cool again, beat again, repeating until white, smooth and thick.
Divide in half. Add white tea flower fragrance to one half and strawberry fragrance with a little pink colour to the other, then layer into your jars.

Once you have made your strawberry and white tea body butter, 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.
