Phase B
10% Watermelon Oil / Rosehip Oil / any oil of choice
2% Any Fragrance Oil of choice
0.5% Vitamin E T-50
Formulating Directions;
Combine all ingredients in phase A and melt using a water bath. (How to make a water bath: fill a pan with an inch or so of water and place on your stove top over medium heat.)
Remove from heat and let the butters and oils cool. (I like to place mine in the fridge to harden.)

Mix your butter periodically as it cools and let it solidify begin whipping it. But don’t let it harden too much or it will be hard to whip. The butter should be soft enough that you can press into it, but hard enough that it leaves and indent in the butter. It will hold it’s shape and not be a liquid. This is the perfect moment to start whipping your butter. (Whipping your butter causes it to heat up. So if your butter is too soft it will not fluff up. Your butter needs to be at the perfect stage of hardness for it to fluffy up beautifully.)

While whipping the butter, this is when I add in the phase B ingredients. I like to add in the Arrowroot powder last and I mix it in using a spatula. Then this is when I start focusing on whipping up the body butter more. I noticed the butter fluffs up better after adding in the arrowroot powder.
Keep whipping your butter until its soft enough to scoop into jars or into pipping bags. But don’t mix it for too long or it will soften up and the butter will not hold it’s shape anymore.

Scoop into desired jar or put into pipping bags and pipe in your jars.
