Melt beeswax & cacao butter over a double boiler. Whisk this occasionally to avoid burning.
When the beeswax and cacao butter are completely melted, add coconut oil and Shea butter. Stir to combine.
When all the ingredients are completely melted, whisk well to thoroughly combine. Set aside for 30 minutes to cool slightly.
Whisk in the seeds (scraped from the inside of the vanilla bean), along with the almond extract. Again, set aside to continue cooling for 1 hour.
Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the body butter for 1-2 minutes to increase volume.
Scoop into 4 ounce jars with a spatula (the warmth from your hands will start to melt the butters) and let cool completely to solidify.
Store in a cool dark cabinet to prevent oils from , and store leftovers in the fridge or freezer for long term storage.
