I needed to feel useful and nourishing to myself so I made what turns out to be a giant batch of whipped body butter for the second time ever. Smells great. Should have used a starch to improve texture. It will take me approximately a year to work through all this and then I can try again.

I did a ton of online research and reading to establish a ratio I felt curious about. This is cocoa butter, shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and a tiny bit of olive oil.
I made a double boiler out of a heatproof glass bowl and a pot, melted down the butters, turned off the heat, and then added the oils. Put everything in my mixing bowl in the fridge. When it had finally solidified (forever later) I whipped it in the mixer.
