They can be!” says Dr. Greenfield. She loves a “body butter with a favorable ingredient list,” which she mentions “can be very beneficial when applied liberally to dry skin.” These ingredients may include butters like shea and cocoa, or natural oils like almond or olive—many of which appear on the ingredients lists of the aforementioned products. Melt Shea, cocoa, and the liquid oil together and mix. Leave overnight in fridge. Let it come to room temp the next day. Whip it on high speed and then add cornstarch. That's it. It works well for me because the Shea butter I buy has little crumbles and requires melting anyway. Hemp seed oil is known for its high concentration of fatty acids and antioxidants, which can help to nourish and protect the skin. These properties make hemp body butter a popular choice for people with dry or sensitive skin and those looking for a natural and plant-based skincare product. We use Cannabidiol (CBD) from organic certified hemp material using gentle supercritical CO₂ extraction – the Honest Hemp™ gold standard. Cocoa butter: This natural butter is derived from the cocoa plant. It melts into the skin at body temperature, leaving it velvety.Hemp butter is quite dry, and therefore also super fast absorbing. Which is also why it works perfectly well alongside the greasier texture of coconut oil and the richness of cocoa butter. Again, making this recipe perfect for sensitive skin.

There are different ways how to make body butter. Most homemade body butters have to be melted and cooled prior to whipping. My preferred method is to whip the shea butter at room temperature and add melted cocoa butter. This is a fast way to make whipped body butter and prevents the shea butter from becoming grainy. I made 2 sample batches, half the recipe (someone here doesn’t like lavender 😉) so 1st for me with half of the amount of corn starch. Once fully melted, wait for the beaker to cool down for a few minutes, and then place it in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes. You want to achieve a consistency that looks solid at first, but you touch it with a spoon it should break and melt easily. coconut oil (36 g/1.27 oz) (or another oil, but the texture will be different) 30% hemp butter (18 g/0.63 oz) or you can also use mango butter or shea butter (but with shea butter it will be greasier) Hemp oil: This is extracted from hemp seeds. It is suitable for all skin types since it can moisturize without clogging the pores. This balances out oily skin, hydrate it, and regulate the skin’s oil production.This one really looked like whipped cream when finished (OMG), but hardened just the same in the jar.
