This is a quick process so it's a good idea to pre-weigh all your ingredients. All the liquid oils can be weighed and combined beforehand.Place the shea butter into a good size mixing bowl.
140 g Shea Butter
Using an electric hand blender, set the speed to a low setting, then start to whisk the shea butter. This will be difficult at first but it should begin to fluff up after a few minutes.
Add the grapeseed oil, apricot kernel, vitamin e, and lavender essential oil to the butter. These can be combined together when weighing out beforehand, to make it easier to add to the bowl.
30 g Grapeseed Oil, 16 g Peach Kernal Oil, 2 g Vitamin E Oil, 2 g Lavender Essential Oil
Whisk the ingredients together until fully combined to make it thick creamy and fluffy. If you need to you can turn the setting up on the whisk, but keep in mind that if you create too much heat, the butter may start melting and the body butter will become liquidy.
Once you are happy with the consistency, sprinkle in the arrowroot powder. I prefer to use a spatula to incorporate this into the body butter as I don't want to overwhip it.
10 g Arrowroot Powder
Finally transfer to a suitable container, ready for use.
