Turmeric Whipped Body Butter
The star of this recipe is turmeric shea butter, which is a natural mix of moisturizing oils and turmeric root extract. Arrowroot powder is added to create a fluffy texture and so the butter doesn’t feel too greasy on the skin. The ginger essential oil blends wonderfully with the slightly spicy scent of the turmeric shea butter. The end result is a thick yet spreadable butter that is intensely hydrating.
