Whipped Unicorn Body Butter Recipe

I found this scrolling the internet and can’t remember where I found it, but here’s something fun if you’re a DYI kind of girl!!!

How to Make Unicorn Whipped Body Butter

Ingredients:
* ½ cup Shea butter
* ¼ cup Coconut oil
* ¼ cup Fractionated coconut oil
* Mica powder coloring in blue, green, yellow, pink and purple
* 15 drops Ylang Ylang essential oil
* 15 drops Orange essential oil
* 15 drops Lemon essential oil

1. Using a double boiler, heat shea butter, coconut oil, and fractionated coconut oil over medium heat until the mixture has melted completely.

Remove from heat.

2. Add 15 drops each of Ylang Ylang, orange, and lemon essential oil and stir to mix well.

3. Place mixture in refrigerator to set, checking in on mixture every 5-10 minutes.

The mixture is set when it is opaque and has a semi-solid surface.

4. Once set, use a stand mixer to beat mixture on high until it forms stiff peaks. This can happen quickly, or it may take as long as 10 minutes.
(If stiff peaks do not form after 10 minutes have passed, then the mixture likely wasn’t allowed to set long enough in the fridge. In this case, return to refrigerator to allow to set longer and then try whipping it again.)

5. Once the mixture has been whipped, separate it out into 5 small bowls.

Add mica powder to each bowl and stir well to combine until you reach your desired colors.

6. Layer the various colors of body butter into a pastry bag (or other icing tool) and pipe it into a glass container.

If you do not have a pastry bag or other icing tool, simply cut a corner of a plastic baggie and use that to pipe the body butter into the jars.

Store your magical unicorn body butter in a sealed glass jar in a cool room or in the refrigerator until ready to use.

I hope that you enjoy this easy DIY unicorn whipped body butter!
