    Love 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.

      Hi 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!

    Could I put it in the freezer to speed up the process?

    Hi! 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!

    I was thinking of substituting alvacado oil for the Almond… Thoughts?

    I 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?

    Wow, 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?

      Brenda ~ 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. 😉
