Equipment needed:
- One hand held mixer
- Stainless steel double boiler
- 5 stainless steel spoons (to scoop out butters and put whipped butter into jars)
- 1 electronic scale that weighs grams and ounces
- 4 – 8 : 2 and/or 4 ounce glass jars
- Measuring cup and bowl
Directions:
Step One: Gather all ingredients.
Step Two: Weigh all ingredients.
Step Three: Gently melt butters in double boiler
Step Four: Once close to melting, remove from heat. Dry bottom of pan. Then add carrot infused oil.
Step Five: Stir well with whisk or fork.
Step Six: Place bowl in freezer for about 15-20 minutes until it has formed a semi-solid sheen on the top.
Step Seven: Take out and whisk with beater.
I begin whipping the butter from the freezer with the blending attachment.
Then I put on the beater attachments and whip for about 5-10 minutes.
Step Eight: Add essential oils and antioxidant
Adding in essential oils.
Adding in vitamin E
Step Nine: Whisk together for another 10-20 minutes. The longer you whisk the fluffier the butter.
The Final Whipped Butter
Step Ten: Scoop into jars.
Putting into jars
This takes a bit of time and patience. Use a smaller stainless steel spoon and move the butter into the jar. Tap jar on counter to get butter to fill container. Keep putting butter in and tapping on counter until butter comes to the ‘lip’ of the jar. Not the very top. It is perhaps 1/4 inch or so away from top. You can smooth top with tip of spoon.
Step Eleven: Label and date. The body butter should be good for up to 6 months. Keep cool (not in refrigerator) and use daily!

I’m really interested in making this recipe.
do you know where I can purchase carrot infused oil or could I substitute another oil instead?
as for the e/o… are you suggesting to use 25 drops carrot seed, 36 Lavendin, and 15 Cape chamomile? I just wanted to be clear?
Thanks for sharing!
Hello Jen, It is uncommon in the market but if I don’t make it, I order mine from http://www.florihana.com Beautiful product line.
Hi, this recipe looks wonderful. It is thick, full of moisture and anti-oxidents, which is important. Can any other essential oil be substituted for the Cape Camomile? I would like to make this, but I do not have Cape Camomile. Thank you very much. Tamara
Hi Tamara, Yes, you can always use Roman chamomile or German chamomile. Or even lavender. Thanks for asking!
