Why Make Your Own Body Butter?
When you make your own body butter, you know exactly what’s going into it. No hidden chemicals or synthetic fragrances—just pure, skin-loving ingredients! Body butter is rich, thick, and provides long-lasting moisture, especially for dry or sensitive skin. Plus, it's a fun and creative way to pamper yourself.
DIY Nourishing Body Butter Recipe
Here’s what you’ll need to create your own silky-smooth body butter:
Ingredients:
- ½ cup shea butter
- ¼ cup cocoa butter
- ¼ cup sweet almond oil (or try avocado oil for deeper hydration)
- 1 tbsp jojoba oil (or rosehip oil for added skin benefits)
- 10-12 drops of your favorite essential oil (we recommend lavender, lemongrass, or a blend!)
Instructions:
- Melt the butters – In a double boiler or microwave (in short bursts), gently melt the shea butter and cocoa butter together, stirring occasionally.
- Mix in the oils – Remove from heat and stir in your sweet almond oil (or avocado oil) and jojoba oil (or rosehip oil).
- Add essential oils – Let the mixture cool slightly before adding your essential oil(s).
- Whip it up – Chill the mixture in the fridge until it’s firm but not fully solid, then whip it with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Store and enjoy – Scoop the body butter into a glass jar and store in a cool, dry place. Apply as needed for soft, hydrated skin!
Why We Love These Ingredients
- Shea Butter: Rich in vitamins and fatty acids, shea butter deeply moisturizes and soothes dry skin.
- Cocoa Butter: Known for its ability to smooth scars and stretch marks, cocoa butter adds a protective layer to lock in moisture.
- Sweet Almond Oil: Light and easily absorbed, it’s perfect for all skin types, especially those with sensitive skin.
- Avocado Oil: A rich, nourishing oil that’s fantastic for deep hydration.
- Jojoba Oil: Closely resembles the skin’s natural oils, making it great for balancing and moisturizing.
