Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
10 Ounces of Mango Butter

5 ounces of Almond oil

5 TBS of cornstarch

1 tsp of Vitamin E oil

2 tsp. of fragrance oil (more or less desired on your preference)

Directions:
Directions:
Melt the mango butter either in a double broiler or a sauce pan on a lower setting, you may use your microwave but we prefer using our stove top. When you have achieved a liquid state with the mango butter you will want to add the almond oil and cornstarch stirring to make sure all ingredients are properly mixed. Keep stirring the mixture as you add in your fragrance oils. We suggest a vanilla fragrance as is makes a combination to the slightly scented mango butter, but any fragrance oil will do perfectly as long as its bath and body safe.

Once your mixture has cooled some and is a creamy consistency you will want to beat the mixture until it's fluffy and the whipped butter consistency. We suggest using a wand beater as it incorporates more air into your body butter and gives it a light fluffier smooth texture.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Once your body butter is whipped you will be able to spoon your butter out into proper jars, If you are unsure or do not have any jars on hand you can always place into 8 ounce canning jars with a decorative fabric top with tie on labels to give as gifts to family and friends.

Keep in mind you can play around with this recipe and make it more your own by adding other ingredients like different mixtures of butters. You will want to experiment slowly with the cornstarch to make sure you are not adding too much or not enough. Cornstarch helps your body butters from becoming to greasy and slick when you apply them to your body.

When your whipped body butter is jarred and ready you will want to keep them out of direct sunlight and direct heat.
