Body Butter Batch #2

So my palm butter and essential oils arrived, so I made another batch of whipped body butter :) This time, I ended up with a much thicker batch.

Ingredients
100g	Shea Butter
60g	Palm Butter
40g	Coconut Butter
2 tbsp	Corn Starch
1 tsp	Vitamin E Oil
1/2 tsp	Vanilla Powder
1 tsp	Crème Brulé Essential Oil
1/8 tsp	Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil
100 g	Shea Butter

Method

Just like the last batch. I measured out 100 g of shea butter, 60g of palm butter, and 40g of coconut butter. This time I used a bigger bowl, to make whipping easier. Unfortunately, that meant I had to use my crockpot bowl as my ice bath. It used a lot more water, and I ended up not having as much ice as I needed. Next time, I want to make sure to have 2 trays of ice before beginning.

I added the essential oils and the vitamin E. As I mixed, it didn't harden as fast as I was expecting. Next time I'll let it sit for a few minutes and see if that fixes it, but this time I melted another 100g of shea butter and added it (since the shea is the most aggressively solid of the butters). Eventually, it cooled and began whipping properly. I have mixed feelings about the different proportions of shea butter to the last recipe. It's less creamy, and more solid. However, I think shea butter is the big good ingredient, so having more of it is probably just great as far as the skin is concerned.

The scent ended up bordering on too sweet. Definitely too sweet in the jar, but once on it leaves the skin nicely scented. Haley loves it, of course. Is there a scent too sweet for an 8 year old girl?

Anyhow, the next day I brushed it through Haley's hair before her shower, and then shampooed it out. After the shower I melted some in my hands and ran it through her wet hair. It's been 2 days, and her hair is smooth (not greasy!) and feels really moisturized. It's much less tangly than before :)
