VANILLA BODY CREAM

Vanilla body cream is a great choice for your skin in cold weather.

Autumn's chilly weather also gives our skin a hard time, especially on the face and hands, which are often dry and chapped. They require more care during this time, so we decided to bring you a recipe for a creamy emulsion that is not only nourishing, but also has a pleasant warm scent of coconut, vanilla and cocoa, without added synthetic fragrances.

The vanilla aroma of this cream is given by our vanilla butter, which is made from vanilla oil by mixing it with hydrogenated vegetable oil. It is well absorbed into the skin and does not leave a greasy feeling, only a pleasant sweet vanilla scent. It is therefore an excellent choice for body creams and lotions.
Coconut virgin oil provides the coconut fragrance. And the cocoa component is obtained thanks to natural cocoa butter.

VANILLA BODY CREAM - RECIPE

VANILLA BODY CREAM - PROCEDURE

1.	Place the emulsifier, coconut oil, cocoa butter and vanilla butter in a saucepan and melt them together over medium heat.
2.	Mix the water and glycerin together (heat to combine).
3.	When the fats in the pot are melted and mixed, add the water-glycerin mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly. Only when you are sure that the mixture has combined, remove the pot from the heat source.
4.	Whisk the mixture (a regular whisk should be fine). As the mixture cools, it will also become thicker (the thickening/stiffening process also depends greatly on the emulsifying agent you choose, sometimes it takes a couple of days. With Olive 1000 or BTMS-50 the mixture should thicken immediately).
5.	Add the preservative at the end of the whisking. Despite the pleasant natural scents from your chosen ingredients, you can intensify the scent of the cream by adding essential oils (we recommend a maximum of 4 drops to this amount). We recommend pouring the cream into glass jars, as the mixture would be difficult to pass through a pump.
