Deeply nourish your skin and boost its elasticity with this 100% natural body treatment.
Maintaining skin elasticity and softness is the ultimate key to a youthful, vibrant look. When it comes to deeply hydrating and pampering my skin every day, this rich homemade body butter is my absolute go-to recipe.
Packed with essential fatty acids and vitamins, it protects against dryness while leaving your skin feeling unbelievably velvety and smooth.
🥣 What you will need:
- Raw Shea butter (unrefined & organic): deeply nourishing and skin-regenerating.
- Raw Cocoa butter (unrefined & organic): restores firmness and adds a subtle chocolate scent.
- Extra virgin Coconut oil (cold-pressed & organic): soothing and protective.
- Nourishing botanical oils (cold-pressed & organic): a custom blend of sweet almond, jojoba, wheat germ, and argan (or olive) oil to soften, hydrate, and maintain elasticity.
- Essential oils (organic): Neroli, lavender, sandalwood, or patchouli.
⚠️ Safety Tip: Always make sure to use non-photosensitive essential oils (avoid citrus oils if you plan to spend time in the sun).
👩🍳 Instructions & Storage:
- Melt the shea and cocoa butters together gently over medium heat in a double boiler (bain-marie).
- Remove from heat and stir in the botanical oils and essential oils.
- Transfer the mixture into an opaque container to protect the oils from light.
- Cool in the refrigerator until the butter hardens and sets.
- Ready to use! Store it in your bathroom cabinet and massage a small amount into your skin daily.
