January 30, 2018 at 12:04 pmLove this recipe! I have made it three times and this last time I used the mixer for longer and it ended up being this fluffy frosting-like consistency. It definitely made a difference. I added Pink Sugar oil to this and it smells amazing.

Heidi says
October 7, 2017 at 8:37 pmHi Annette ~ I usually like to use it within a few months of making it. It does not need to be stored in the refrigerator. Hope that helps!

September 24, 2017 at 2:17 pmCould I put it in the freezer to speed up the process?
Heidi says
October 7, 2017 at 8:32 pmHi Maggie ~ Unfortunately no… I don’t recommend freezing this.

July 18, 2017 at 8:47 amHi! Is there a different oil that would work just as well as almond oil? My kiddo is allergic to almonds, but this looks so lovely!
Valerie says
June 12, 2017 at 8:47 amI was thinking of substituting alvacado oil for the Almond… Thoughts?
Heidi says
June 13, 2017 at 11:14 amHi Valerie ~ I honestly haven’t ever tried making it that way, but if you do… let us know how it turns out!

September 5, 2016 at 11:38 amI would love to make this for the ladies at the shelter. However, My daughter is allergic to coconut, is there another oil I could use for those with the same allergy?
Brenda says
August 3, 2016 at 4:07 pmWow, that sounds like something I could make. Do you use the same bowl in the microwave and mixer that you would use for cooking, or do you have separate supplies for making the body butter?
Heidi says
June 13, 2017 at 11:16 amBrenda ~ I just use one of my regular mixing bowls… then wash out well with hot soapy water when I’m done to remove any residue. 😉
