So this recipe is for a budget Body butter..but with still really good ingredients that will absorb into the skin. If you want a faultless real body butter you will see it a little further down. (expensive but really great for the skin) for a specific market.
Method:
In a stainless steel pot, melt emulsifing wax and butters together. Really gently and over a low heat until just melted. Add this to the hot water. Commence blending immediately. Preferably with a stick blender.
Now you can add your active ingredients or the cyclomethicone and wheatgerm oil. Stir in well and make sure your product is properly cooled before decanting.
A little note… wheatgerm oil doesn’t really like hot stuff. So I would suggest you incorporate it close to luke warm temperature stage.
