Whipped Magnesium Body Butter
Whipped Magnesium Body Butter 

This recipe creates a fluffy butter by whipping the oils after they have partially solidified. 
 
 
INGREDIENTS
 
VEGAN
  • 1/2 cup Shea Butter or cocoa butter or a combo of both 
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
  • 1/4 cup Magnesium Oil (made by dissolving 1/4 cup magnesium flakes in 1/2 cup hot water, cooled to room temperature)
  • Optional : 20 drops of essential oils of choice
TALLOW
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup magnesium flakes
  • 1/2 cup tallow
  • 2tbsp cacao or shea butter
  • 2 tbs beeswax
  • 10 to 20 drop of essential oils
 
METHOD
  1. Melt Oils: In a double boiler, melt the shea butter and coconut oil together.
  2. Cool: Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature until it becomes cloudy and starts to solidify slightly.
  3. Combine: Add the magnesium oil and essential oils to the butter mixture.
  4. Whip: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer (like a KitchenAid), whip the mixture until it becomes creamy and light.
  5. Refrigerate: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes until it reaches a semi-solid state (you should be able to push your finger through it).
  6. Final Whip: Whip again until it is fluffy and holds its shape.
  7. Store: Transfer to a clean, airtight glass jar. Store in a cool place or the refrigerator if it's hot inside.
NOTES
  • Preventing Separation: Ensure both the oils and the magnesium water are close to room temperature before mixing. Using an immersion blender can also create a more stable, emulsified, and thick consistency.
  • Shelf Life: As this recipe contains water (via the magnesium oil) but no preservatives, it should be used within a few weeks, or stored in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
  • Tingling: A tingling sensation is normal, especially for the first few applications or if you are magnesium deficient. Apply to soles of feet
