Ingredients
- ¼ cup raw shea butter (buy from here)
- ¼ cup raw cocoa butter (buy from here)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil (buy from here)
- 1 tablespoon calendula oil (buy from here)
- 1 teaspoon vitamin e oil (buy from here)
- 15-20 drops of lavender essential oil (buy from here)
Instructions
How to make
- Take coconut oil and shea butter in a bowl and melt the oils using a double boiler.
- Remove from heat once melted and let the mixture cool until it’s opaque (to speed this is you can put it in the fridge, but don’t let it solidify completely).
- Next, it’s time to whip the melted oils into body butter. If you are using a hand mixer, add the all the ingredients including melted oils, calendula, vitamin e, and lavender essential to the bowl. If you’re using a stand mixer, add all the ingredients and the melted oils to the stand mixer bowl.
- Whip until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is light and fluffy – about 5-7 minutes.
- You’re finished whipping when the body butter can stick to a spoon when held upside-down.
- Transfer to a small glass container or jar and store in a cool place.
How To Apply
- Apply it whenever needed.
Notes
1. You can keep this body butter for 3-4 months and if refrigerated can be stored for longer period.
2. If you want to make body butter in large quantity, you can use NeoDefend preservative to store it for a longer period. A preservative is very important in recipes if you want to make the lotion or butter to stay for a longer period because it can form mold and bacteria. NeoDefend is very gentle for the skin, unlike typical preservatives. It is non-GMO and certified organic. Each recipe only takes a tiny bit, a little bit goes a long way.
