I love the moisturizing benefits and the luxurious feel of body butter. Here’s a popular DIY recipe for an essential oil body butter you can make at home:

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup shea butter
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup almond oil
  • 15-20 drops of your favorite essential oil (such as lavender, peppermint, or )

Instructions:

  1. In a double boiler, melt the shea butter and coconut oil together.
  2. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the almond oil.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, or until the mixture starts to solidify.
  4. Once the mixture has solidified, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy.
  5. Add in your desired essential oil and mix until well combined.
  6. Store your body butter in an airtight container and use as needed.

Enjoy your homemade essential oil body butter!
