Homemade Body Butter

Have you ever wanted to make your own luxurious body butter?  Here's a simple recipe I use when in the mood to be creative and pamper myself.  No synthetic ingredients, just natural, and beneficial nourishment for the skin!
​

Gather the following ingredients:

• 1 cup Raw Cocoa Butter
• 1 cup Raw Shea Butter
• 2 Tsp Pure Organic Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Organic Virgin Coconut Oil
• 2 TSP Corn Starch (optional to make less greasy)
• 15 drops Young Living Orange Essential Oil
• 10 drops Young Living Lemon Essential Oil (optional)​​

Need Essential Oils?

​Combine raw cocoa butter and raw shea butter with coconut oil and melt on medium to low heat over a double boiler, using a pot and bowl.  
​

​This will be the result once fully melted.  Next step is to place in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.
​

​Once it has set in the refrigerator it will look like this and is ready to whip!
​

​Whip it up in your favorite mixer on medium to high speed until it gets fluffy.

​Now it's time to add your drops of essential oils and corn starch if you are using it.  Then whip some more!

For extra fluffy texture, let it set in refrigerator again for about 15 minutes, then return to mixer to whip a bit more.  

​When it's just the way you want it, place it in a clean mason jar and store in a cool, dark place.  Now you're ready to pamper your skin and feel luxurious.
