I was listening to my favorite Essential Oils Podcast and they shared a Body Butter recipe. I was really wanting to make a moisturizer and everyone I had made so far, I have hated. Well, this Body Butter recipe is the BEST!
If DIY-ing is scary to you, take a deep breath, and give it a try! If you find easy recipes, get a few items to use, and materials, you can make just about anything!! I have the following materials and have made a lot of stuff with them:
- Beeswax
- Shea Butter
- Cocoa Butter
- Coconut Oil
- A variety of other carrier oils (Sweet Almond, Jojoba, etc.)
I allow to cool about an hour then put it in the refrigerator. This allows it to cool quicker. If it was winter, I would have stuck it outside. Around 2-3 hours later, take it out, mix around with a spatula and then add about 10-20 drops of your favorite Essential Oil. I chose Peace and Calming because it's my favorite!
Then, use a hand mixer and whip away!! Whip until stiff peaks. And....viola! You've made Body Butter!
