For this whipped body butter, I will use the thyme-infused oil that I made before. You can see the recipe at How to Make Thyme Infused Oil at Home?
Also, I will use Shea Butter and Coconut Oil. Both of these have already been proven to maintain skin health, the thyme only complements and enhances this positive effect. The thyme-infused oil has a calming effect on the skin, and it reduces irritation and redness. Shea Butter and Coconut Oil soften it.
It is intended to apply it after showering. I’m using it all the time for everything, like face, hands, dry skin if I had a rash or any other problem with the skin and it’s awesome. It is a very easy recipe and you have to try it.
Of course, you need to be careful about allergies. Apply on a small area of the palm and wait 24 hours. If redness and itching do not appear you are good to go. Or if you are not sure, consult a health provider.
You can use it for daily care. It gives the necessary moisture and softness to the skin and most importantly, there are no artificial additives used by pharmaceutical companies, which are as good as they are harmful because the liver still has to clean them.
For better scent, you can use essential oil. I didn’t have any at the moment and that’s why it is not included in the recipe’s video.
I previously infused the thyme in olive oil, but you can do it with sunflower oil too. Actually, the sunflower oil makes the body butter to be more easily absorbed and less greasy. For olive oil, that takes a bit longer.
You will need a hand mixer, bowl, and pan so get them and let’s start with preparing it.

- 1/2 cup shea butter or cocoa butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup thyme infused oil see the homemade recipe above
- 40 drops essential oil (optional)
- Prepare the ingredients in a certain amount.
- Bring water to a boil in a saucepan.
- Place the deep bowl on top of the pot, but be careful not to touch the water. The heating must be steamed, so as not to destroy the useful ingredients.
- Add the shea butter, coconut oil, and thyme-infused oil to the bowl.
- Wait for all the ingredients to come together and become one mixture.
- Then remove the pan from the steam and continue to stir by hand from time to time while it cools. When the mixture starts to slowly thicken, add the essential oil, and continue to mix by hand. (This may take a little longer, about 30 minutes.)
- When the mixture is set up take the hand mixer and whip the body butter until the mixture is fluffy and stiff peaks form.
- Take a spoon and add it to a glass jar or whatever you want. Close and keep it to a cool and dark place. Like that, it will last 6 months to a year.
