Cupuacu Whipped Body Butter Recipe

Cupuacu Whipped Body Butter Recipe

This whipped body butter recipe is made with cupuacu butter. It has a lovely deep chocolate scent, feels very light on the skin and does not leave a greasy film. Everything we want from a body butter.

Cupuacu butter is a very special cosmetic butter similar to cocoa butter. They both have a chocolate scent, but the cupuacu butter scent has some caramel undertones, is deeper and lingers longer. In this recipe we add a fragrance oil, which you can replace with another or if you like the natural scent of the cupuacu butter, you can remove the fragrance oil by increasing the macadamia oil.

Ingredients

Phase A

• 112.5 grams of cupuacu butter
• 97.5 grams of macadamia oil
• 37.5 grams of cetyl alcohol

Phase B

• 1.25 grams of vitamin E
• 1.25 grams of hazelnut fragrance oil
• 1/2 tablespoon of mica powder (optional)

How to make cupuacu whipped body butter recipe

1. Weigh all ingredients of phase A into a bowl or beaker and heat in a water bath.
2. When everything is melted, remove the beaker from the water bath and stir it until it begins to harden. Then put it in the refrigerator or freezer.
3. Wait 5-10 minutes and take it out to whip up. The mixture should still be soft, not hard. If it has become too hard – mash it with a metal spoon or something similar. And then whip it up.
4. Add phase B ingredients and whisk.
5. Place the beaker in the refrigerator/freezer again, wait 5-10 minutes and whisk again.
6. Scoop the whipped body butter and put it in a jar.

You can choose a mica with a bronze or skin tone or another soft pink color.
