This Cocoa Butter Cashmere Body Mousse is made with skin-loving ingredients, and has a light yet butter-y consistency.
Ingredients
  • Three Tall 8 oz. Bail Jars
  • 8 oz. Avocado Butter
  • 3 oz. Organic Cocoa Butter Chunks
  • 2 oz. Jojoba Oil
  • 6 mL Cocoa Butter Cashmere Fragrance Oil
  • Dropper
Instructions
  1. Add the jojoba oil and cocoa butter into a small, heat-safe container. Melt in the microwave using 30-60 second bursts. Cocoa butter has a high melting point, so be careful when removing the container from the microwave. It will be very hot.
  2. Once the mixture is melted, add the Cocoa Butter Cashmere Fragrance Oil and mix in completely. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a separate large container, add the avocado butter. Use a hand mixer (or stand mixer) to whip the butter until it's completely smooth.
  4. Slowly add small amounts of the melted cocoa butter and jojoba oil to the avocado butter, and whip after each addition.
  5. Continue adding the melted mixture and whipping together. I recommend to add the butter in no less than four parts. If too much of the butter is added at once, it will completely melt the avocado butter. As you whip the mixture it will begin to thin and become more smooth.
  6. Continue whipping for several minutes. Use a spatula to clean the sides of the bowl if necessary.
  7. As the mixture cools, it will thicken and become more “fluffy.” The mixture shown below has returned to room temperature (about 70° F). As you can see, it’s a much thicker consistency than the butter shown in step six, which was about 90° F.
  8. Place the butter into bail jars or other containers and enjoy! Store this product in a cool place, or it may melt and lose some of the fluffy consistency.
