Materials

• 15 drops Lemon essential oil

Tools

Instructions

1. Add Shea butter to a mixing bowl or small pot and add in ¼ cup of coconut oil. Also add ¼ cup of the fractionated coconut oil. If you want to change this oil out with something else like sweet almond, you can.
2. Place it on the stove top over medium heat and warm until it's completely melted. Once melted, remove the mixture from the heat and add in 15 drops of Ylang Ylang essential oil, and the same amount of orange and lemon oils.  
3. Stir and place it into the refrigerator to set for 15 minutes. The mix is ready when it appears opaque.
4. Remove it from the fridge and use an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form. Then, separate it into smaller bowls.
5. Pour a little of the colored mica powders into each bowl, and stir. Keep stirring and adding until you get the colors you want.
6. To get the layered look, add the colored body butter to a pastry bag and pipe it into each container.
7. Store rainbow body butter at a cool room temp or in the fridge until it's ready to be used.
