A coworker friend loves my "Unicorn Poop Fragranced Body Butter". Thank you so much "J".
It took me a while to start making this as I have to wait for the fragrance oil to be delivered. The purple and pink swirled body butter comprise the unicorn poop. The plain white is for my daughter and is unscented. This batch includes Argan oil, Avocado oil, Shea butter, Mango butter, and Cocoa butter.
Unicorn poop is described as a rainbow of delicious treats such as sugared strawberry, sweet peach, ripe raspberry and cotton candy!
Above picture is Shea butter.
Shea butter is ivory in color. It is widely used in cosmetics and is known to benefit dry skin. Since it is getting colder, our skin is starting to get dryer. A body butter with Shea butter is just perfect.
Added in some Mango butter in the picture above.
Mango butter have excellent moisturizing property. It softens and plumps the skin which also reduces the presence of wrinkles. Consequently, it is gentle enough to be used as a lip balm or face moisturizer.
Mixed in the Cocoa butter wafers.
Cocoa butter are known to reduce skin dryness and improve elasticity. It also slows skin aging. Moreover, it improves blood flow to the skin which tends to smooth scars and wrinkles fast.
When the butters are melted, I added the Avocado oil and Argan oil so they don't get subjected to the microwave.
Avocado oil adds moisturizing attributes and wonderful glide to the final product.
Argan oil is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids.
Added some Arrowroot powder so the final body butter will not be too greasy.
I let the batch harden naturally. Some tutorials would place the batch in the fridge to harden it faster.
Added some more Argan oil just because I have a whole bottle of it and I am making this batch for a friend who likes Argan oil.
Mix until fluffy.
Separate the batch into three. Colored one with pink mica and the other with lavender mica. I always envision unicorn poop to be fairytale-like.
Then into the piping bag it went.
I hope everybody enjoys this product as much as I enjoy making them!
Thank you!
