Prepare your raw shea butter for a "water bath" by cutting it into small pieces
Let a saucepan half full of water come to a boil
Transfer the prepared shea butter into a heat proof bowl, set it in the saucepan and melt the butter until it's mostly liquid.
Once the shea butter has melted, remove the bowl from the saucepan.
Add 1 tsp of Vitamin E oil and 1 tsp of Jojoba oil to the mixture.
Now it's time to heat up the Chaga water extraction so it'll blend better into the oil mixutre.
Once the oils are all combined, take out your handheld mixer.
Slowly pour the hot water Chaga extraction into the melted shea butter, using a hand-held mixer to blend the ingredients until smooth.
Continue whipping the mixture until it's fluffy and thick - the volume of the mixture should nearly double in size.
When finished simply transfer the whipped Chaga body butter into a clean jar.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the recipe to your liking. The more shea butter used, the richer and thicker the final product - ideal for winter or drier skin. The recipe includes Vitamin E and Jojoba oil for good nourishment, but they also help to preserve the body butter. Since this recipe is all-natural and doesn't include any emollient esters nor hardeners, it's best to keep the Chaga Body Butter in a cool environment away from direct sunlight to prevent it from melting. If possible, try to use organic, fair-trade ingredients for this recipe.
