Scented/Unscented Body Butter

Omg!!! This body butter is so decadent and enriching to the skin! It's simple to make. All you need is:

1/2 cup of natural shea or cocoa butter

1/5 cup of olive or coconut oil

30 drops of essential oil for scent or none if you prefer unscented

All you do is mix the ingredients in a mixing bowl and blend on high speed for about 7 min until whipped as shown above. That's it!! Transfer the mixture using a rubber spatula into desired container and use as replacement for lotion. You can apply as often as you like throughout the day.

It acts as a natural sunscreen and can also be formulated to repel mosquitos. To repel mosquitos, use 15 drops of eucalyptus oil and 15 drops of lemongrass oil. You can also add peppermint oil to the mixture to give it an extra kick. It is cooling, soothing, and will repel insect bites.

In the mixture above, I used 15 drops of rose oil and 15 drops of lavender oil. As I have stated numerous times, I am especially fond of lavender scents but you can try your own! Make it your own!!
