Whipped Cashew Body Butter
Cashew's naturally high fat content gives this whipped butter an unusually smooth, fast-melting quality on contact with skin, richer in mouthfeel (so to speak) than the Goat or Coconut Milk versions, thanks to cashew's own creamy lipid profile layered on top of the shea-coconut-almond base.
