Whipped Pearl Body Butter Project
The base of this recipe is avocado butter. After a few minutes with a hand mixer, the dense butter becomes extremely smooth and fluffy.
This recipe also contains seaweed extract. It’s dispersed in fractionated coconut oil, which has a light texture that glides onto skin. Finally, Super Pearly White Mica is added for a touch of shimmer.
Because this is an oil-based recipe that doesn’t contain water, a preservative isn’t necessary. Keep in mind that body butters have a heavier feeling on the skin than lotion. Arrowroot powder is added so the recipe doesn’t feel too oily.

Avocado Butter - 1 lb
Seaweed Extract - 1 oz

Super Pearly White Mica - 1 oz
Arrowroot Powder - 1 lb
