Body Butter

Source of Recipe

From "Natural Beauty at Home" by Janice Cox


Recipe Introduction

"This is a rich, buttery cream that is a wonderful allover body cream. It contains four well-known skin-conditioning products: cocoa butter, coconut oil, sesame oil, and avocado oil. It is especially nice after a day in the sun or after a warm shower to lock in moisture. This is a heavy cream, and I would not suggest using it on your face."

List of Ingredients

• ¼ cup grated cocoa butter
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil
• 2 Tbsp sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp avocado oil
• 1 Tbsp grated beeswax


Recipe

Combine all the ingredients in an ovenproof glass container. Place the container with the mixture in a pan with a 1- to 2-inch water bath. Melt the oils and wax gently.

Pour the melted mixture into a clean jar and allow to cool. Stir the cooled mixture.

Spread the butter on your body and massage into the skin.
