Begin by adding the herbs of your choice to a glass jar.
Pour melted coconut oil overtop of the herbs and add a loose lid.
Place the glass jar(s) into a saucepan with room temperature water.
Bring the water to a rolling boil and allow the oil to sit in the boiling water for 5 minutes.
Turn the heat off and leave the oil to sit until the water returns to room temperature.
Repeat this one more time: bring the water back to a rolling boil, allow the oil to sit in it for 5 minutes, turn off the heat, and leave the jar(s) in the water until the water has returned to room temperature.
Next, strain off the herbs. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to press down on the herbs squeeze out all of the infused oil into a small bowl and set aside.
Chop the shea butter into small pieces. This will help it to melt more quickly.
Add the shea butter chunks and infused coconut oil to a saucepan. Heat the ingredients on low heat until the ingredients are combined. Use a spatula to make sure the shea butter and coconut oil completely combine.
Remove the mixture from the heat.
Add the arrowroot powder and combine well.
Allow the mixture to nearly harden by placing it into a fridge or freezer. The mixture should not be completely solid but it shouldn’t be liquidy.
Once almost hardened, add the mixture to a food processor. Blitz until the mixture becomes fluffy – this usually takes about 20 seconds.
Use a spatula to spoon the mixture into you storage jar. I use a glass mason jar.
I like to put my whipped shea butter into the fridge overnight to allow it to set up completely.
Store the body butter in a cool place and make sure to keep it sealed so it stays fresh.
