How to Make Triple Butter Body Butter – Super Skin Loving!
Today I want to share a super luxurious and super skin-loving Lavender and Lilac triple butter body butter. I am using three of my favorite butters, shea butter, mango butter, and kokum butter. All are great for the skin and have wonderful moisturizing properties. I love that the kokum butter gives this body butter the perfect consistency and feel on the skin. This body butter is perfect all year round but I recommend it for Spring and Summer. Both the mango butter and the kokum butter are harder butters and keep well at higher temperatures. I love that I can take this body butter with me on camping trips and it does not melt.

I also love experimenting and creating new body butter formulations. There are so many variations that I can create with only a few ingredients and body butters are great to use any time of the year. I enjoy knowing exactly what goes into it and that they are one hundred percent natural. This body butter uses a fragrance oil from one of my favorite soap-making and skin care suppliers, but you can make it with essential oils or omit the fragrance completely.
Making body butter is not very complicated but it does require some patience. It takes several minutes to whip the butter to the right consistency. Follow the steps below and you will have a fantastic skin-loving Lavender and Lilac body butter in no time.
Step by Step Making Lavender and Lilac Triple Butter Body Butter
Ingredients and materials:
- 1 oz shea butter
- 1 oz kokum butter
- 1 oz mango butter
- 0.5 oz jojoba oil
- 0.5 oz sweet almond oil
- 0.5 ml using a dropper of Lilac fragrance oil (from BeScented)
- 10 drops of Lavender Essential Oil
- Lavender and Coral color micas
- 4 oz mason jars
Weigh out the shea butter, mango butter, and kokum butter and place it in a heat-safe container.
Melt the butters using the microwave in 30-second intervals until only a few pieces are left. Use a spatula to swirl the remaining pieces of the butters until it fully melted. I like this method because that way I can try to control the temperature a bit and try to avoid overheating the wonderful moisturizing butters. For even better temperature control use the double boiler method for melting the butter.
Add the jojoba oil and sweet almond oil and mix well using a spatula
Place in the refrigerator for 45 minutes until the butters have hardened like in the picture above.
After 45 minutes to an hour remove the mix from the refrigerator and mix using the blender for one to two minutes.
Add the Lavender essential oil and the Lilac fragrance oil and whip for 7 to 10 minutes.
Separate the Lavender and Lilact triple butter body butter into two separate containers.
Add the coral color mica to one of the containers and the lavender color mica to the second container.
Mix the mica colorant in using a spatula. Do not over-mix.
Place the body butter side by side in a piping bag to create the double color as shown in the pictures.
Pipe the triple butter body butter into the jars.
Piping the body butter is completely optional but I love doing it. I think it looks beautiful. It is perfect if you are using this body butter as a gift and makes it attractive if you are planning to sell it.
Keep the luxurious Lavender and Lilac triple butter body butter in an airtight container and use it as often as needed.
This Lavender and Lilac body butter feels wonderful on the skin. I like that it does not feel greasy.
However, if you like you can also add arrowroot powder, but I think it does not need it at all.
With body butters, a little goes a long way but don’t hesitate to splurge if you like!
If you are a beginner, I have a beginner body butter post that also discusses ratios and how to formulate for yourself. If you want to continue to get inspired on body butters take a look at this Whipped Coffee Body Butter as well as my Turkish Mocha Triple Butter, Body Butter with coffee butter. I hope you try them.
I have a simpler yet very rich and super skin-loving body butter with mango butter that you will also love. Try the Mango and Avocado Body Butter, it’s just wonderful. Then this Kokum Butter Body Butter is just another great recipe to try. A full list of body butters can also be found in the Lotion and Body Butters category.
If you try and make this body butter, I would love to hear how it turned out!
Stopping by from the Grandma’s House link party! This is so pretty, I love that you did two colors.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I am so glad you liked this project.
Hello wonderful….don’t you need a preventative?..tk u.
Hello, thank you for stopping by. No, you don’t need a preservative in natural body butters as long as there’s no water or water-based ingredients (like aloe vera juice, hydrosols, etc.) in the formula. However, if you think there might be introduced during use you may want to consider adding one. I recommend the Optiphen Plus https://amzn.to/3RBBQvT You can use it at 1% of the total formulation.
