Best Homemade Body Butter 🧈
Best Body Butter Ever 🧈
A good moisturizer is crucial for our skin. I used to apply lotion daily until I started reading the labels and found a big quantity of unhealthy or unnecessary ingredients.
That's when I decided to make my own. As it turns out, it's much cheaper than the ones I used to buy!
Ingredients
🥥 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
🫒 1/2 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
🤍 1/2 Cup Cocoa Butter
🧈 1/2 Cup Shea Butter
🪻 40 Drops of Lavender essential oil
Steps 👩🏻🍳
- Melt on low to medium heat the coconut oil, cocoa butter and shea butter in a double boiler using a glass bowl over a pot of hot water. Once everything has melted, add the extra virgin olive oil and stir well for another minute.
- Add the lavender essential oil at the end and stir well.
- Put the liquid in an airtight container in the freezer until it is firm (not completely hard).
- Remove from the freezer. Store the container at room temperature with your skincare products for maximum 3-6 months.
- Use it on dry skin. It may need a few minutes to be absorbed by the skin before putting on clothes.
Notes 📝
Results: say hi to your beautiful silky skin! If you want to enhance the results, use the dry brush before shower and use my body scrub recipe twice a week!
If you want to make a sunscreen out of it, add some zinc oxide to this recipe. Be careful using citrus oils, like lemon or orange, since they can make your skin photosensitive. If you do use them, don’t go out in the sun for awhile. Or use it at night.
Love, S 💕
