How to make Cashmere Winter mango butter and kokum butter – double butter – body butter
Weigh out the mango butter and place it in a heat safe mixing bowl.
Weigh out the kokum butter butter and place it in a heat safe bowl with the mango butter.
Melt the mango butter and kokum butter in the microwave in 30 second intervals.
Once the mango butter and kokum butter are melted, add the jojoba oil/sweet almond oil and the Vitamin E oil and combine using a spatula.

Place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to an hour or until it has hardened. See the picture below to see how it should look when you get it out of the refrigerator.

Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and whip it using a hand mixer for a couple of minutes until the mango and kokum butter body butter starts to fluff.
Add the Cashmere fragrance oil.
The fragrance is optional. The mango butter and kokum butter both have a light scent that complements and blends well with the wintery cashmere scent.
Mix well for another 5 minutes until fluffy and soft.

Separate 1/3 of the body butter and add the peach-pink color mica.

Place both the not colored and peach-pink colored body butter side by side on cling wrap, then insert into a piping bag.

Pipe the body butter to your favorite container and use as needed. Either glass or plastic containers will work. Make sure to keep it in an airtight container. This body butter can last a long time, both the mango butter and kokum butter generally have a shelf life of at least one year. If you plan to keep this body butter for a very long time, you can add a preservative. My recommended preservative is Optiphen +.

This is a great body butter for hot days, both the mango butter and kokum butter are very hard butters and keep well in higher temperatures. None of these feel greasy, however, if you find the body butter too greasy for you, you can add arrowroot powder. I recommend starting with 1 teaspoon of arrowroot powder for every two ounces of body butter. Add more until it feels perfect for you. I like the perfect combination of mango butter and kokum butter for the perfect body butter for the Texas temperatures.
