I used the mint as a photo prop because it looks so fresh, but there isn’t any mint plant in the recipe. The peppermint essential oil has a more potent smell and I’m not sure if you used the leaf if much scent would come through. However, you definitely could include some mint leaves in this recipe! This article has instructions for how to do a solar infusion. I’d use dry mint leaves to avoid spoilage and mold growth. https://www.theherbalspoon.com/2014/05/calendula-salve-for-eczema-and-psoriasis/ You can then use the mint-infused coconut oil in the body butter recipe.

I chose to read this recipe because I was looking for something to do with my homegrown Mint!. There is fresh mint in the picture but none in the recipe. Am I missing something. Can fresh mint be used in this??

In reply to Cyn. It's been awhile since I've made this recipe, but I think it yielded about 15 ounces. A 5 times increase in volume seems awfully high to me, but I'm also not sure which ingredients the other recipe used. I think doubling in size is more realistic. I'm sure your friends and family will really appreciate the delicious smelling body butter this Christmas!

I was wondering, how much does this recipe end up being in regards to volume? I am planning on making at least a dozen 16 oz jars for Christmas presents (yes, gathering ingredients early!) and I want to make sure I order enough ingrdients. (I realize that a single batch of this recipe will not be enough, so math to the rescue!) I had come across a recipe and didn’t save the link, but if I recall correctly, the body butter expanded to 5 times its original volume after it had been whipped. In your experience, would this be approximately correct? Thanks in advance, and thank you for sharing your recipe! Can’t wait to try it!

Seems easy enough to make. Pinning it on my to try board.

Just a question though, if I were to add vitamin e oil in to it, how much should I add?

Thank you for sharing this on Savoring Saturdays. Found you there.
Cheers!
