I’ve never had chunks. Try melting all the butters and oil completely.... I put the ingredients in a steel bowl then place the bowl in boiling water until everything liquifies. Next, I stick the bowl in the freezer for 15ish minutes (just until the butters/oil form a thin solid layer at the top), add a couple of drops of essential oil and use an electric wisk (high) until the mixture looks fluffy
Looking for good coconut oil whipped body butter recipe
I’m looking for tried and reliable coconut oil whipped body butter recipes. I love using just coconut oil but sometimes it’s just too greasy. I’ve also tried “whipped” coconut oil but it wasn’t much better. I found 2 recipes on Pinterest that seemed promising but had its own problems. One was: 1/2 cup shea butter, 1/2 cup coco butter, 1/4 cup coconut oil. But the coco butter didn’t soften/melt well and the butter came out really chunky.
The other was: 1/2 cup Shea butter, 1/2 cup coconut oil. This one came out a little better, but there’s still some noticeable Shea chunks and it’s still fairly greasy.
I love the idea of having a body butter that is as natural as you can get and doesn’t have a lot of chemicals in it. These recipes really do seem promising bc I’m using raw organic coco and Shea butter and also organic coconut oil. But I can’t seem to get them to turn out quite right. Does anyone have a recipe they can recommend?

Can you heat them up a little so they incorporate better?

That’s what I did originally. It said to melt them all down, and mix them with an electric mixer for a minute or 2. Let sit until they solidify again, and then mix again for 5-7mins. The coco butter never really melted down so there are a lot of bigger, hard chunks. The Shea melted better but there are still small little chunks of that as well.
