Vanilla Mint Body Butter

I ran across this Body Butter recipe on one of my favorite essential oil accounts I follow.  (@something.essential) I immediately knew it was something I wanted to make for Christmas gifts this year.  I ordered the ingredients I needed off Amazon and used my Young Living Peppermint essential oil.  I use vanilla extract that I bought in the Dominican Republic (it's SOO yummy) so I was excited to add it to the mix too!  You can use different oils to scent your body butter (Lavender, Grapefruit, or Orange would be awesome!) for different seasons!  I made little tags and tied them on with Christmas twine.  This made enough jars for me to gift to about 12 people!  ;)

Ingredients:
1.5 cups shea butter
2/3 cup solid coconut oil
1 tsp clear vanilla extract
1 tsp carrier oil (I used my liquid coconut oil)
8 Tbsp arrowroot flour
30-40 drops peppermint essential oil
Glass Jars for storing

Instructions:
Melt the shea butter, coconut oil, and carrier oil over high heat on stove.  Then add vanilla extract.  Pour into heat safe bowl and pop in refrigerator until almost solidified.  (Not liquid, but not totally solid - took me about an hour and I sped it up by putting in the freezer the last 10 minutes.  Keep checking every 15 minutes or so.)

Pull out, add to mixer and beat for 1 minute.  Add arrowroot flour and essential oil and beat for 15-20 minutes until fluffy peaks form.  Transfer to jars to store and gift!
