DIY LUXURIOUS BODY BUTTER RECIPE

Ingredients:

Organic ingredients are the best to use of course but start with what you have.

2 ounces coconut oil (approximately 1⁄3 cup)

2 ounces shea butter (approximately 1⁄3 cup)

2 ounces cocoa butter (approximately 1⁄3 cup)

Drop or two of Vitamin E oil

Optional: 1/4 cup jojoba oil or sweet almond oil. Depending on how thick you like your butter, this can be omitted or added. As always, play around and discover what you love most. I found the 1/3 cup in the original recipe was too much for me so I reduced it.

15-30 drops essential oils (add more if you like).

I love 5 drops each: lavender, rose geranium, patchouli and sandalwood combined and I call it my Signature Blend!

Instructions:

In a double boiler or glass bowl, combine all ingredients except essential oils. Bring to medium heat and stir constantly until all ingredients are melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Move to the fridge (or freezer for a shorter time if you are impatient ) and let cool another 1 hour or until starting to harden but still somewhat soft.

Use a hand mixer to whip for 10 minutes until fluffy. Add essential oils and whip for another minute. This body butter is just as amazing un-whipped. You can simply mix well and leave as is.

Store in a glass jar with a lid, in the fridge, or in a cool, dark place to prevent oils from becoming too soft. If you prefer softer butter simply keep it out at room temperature. As you apply it, take in all the aromas, love up on your skin and allow it to transfix you to another place ❤️
