I wonder if putting the bowl and the beaters in the freezer before you make the body butter would help, like making whipped cream?

Yeah, chilling them helps. I also place the bowl of melted oils in the fridge to help cool them faster. I'm going to look for a different brand of lard, maybe I can find one that doesn't have the piggy smell like armour does.
i made a 100% lard body butter. I love lard, to eat and in soap. I loved the lard body butter but i could not get over the smell. Even with EO's and FO's the lard left a manure smell.
I just couldnt use it...because of the poopy smell.

Please let me know if you do find some. I would LOVE to use lard in more stuff, but I can smell it in everything but bar soap.

I get Morrel lard in big 20lb buckets from my local WalMart. It doesn't have a piggy smell upon opening.
What I have noticed is that lard gets "piggier" the longer it's been opened. (I generally use it within a few months of opening). I've noticed this in the small buckets of Amour lard as well.
I'm going to have to try this now! I love lard in soap!

oh my
I going to have to make this I have really bad dry skin right now thanks to winter, although I'm not going to add any EOs. I want to try it before making it smell pretty, lol just incase I don't like it. I was looking for a recipe that don't need preservatives to try first. I don't use lotion in the bathroom , and I always try new recipes on myself before allow anyone else to use. thank you

@ alwaysme07
Hi, the no preservative lard whipped body butter you asked is right here @ thread post # 12 above.
As long as there's no water, you don't need preservative. You only need anti- oxidants and it's probably already in the lard. & coconut oil you buy.
