Lavender Lemon Body Butter

Make your own Lavender Lemon Body Butter with all natural ingredients for a decadent treat to give or to keep for yourself.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup organic virgin coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup organic shea butter
  • 2 tbsp grated beeswax
  • 3 tbsp sweet almond oil
  • 20 drops lavender essential oil
  • 20 drops lemon essential oil

Instructions

  1. In a double boiler, melt the coconut oil, shea butter, beeswax and sweet almond oil.
  2. When all the beeswax flakes are melted, turn off heat and add essential oils.
  3. Pour into glass containers and allow the mixture to harden. You can put it in the fridge to speed up the hardening process if you like.

Recipe Notes

You may find that that your body butter looks like it has little granules in it, especially if you keep it in a spot that has a lot of temperature fluctuation. Don't worry, it is just a result of the coconut oil and shea butter solidifying at different temperatures. The granules melt on contact and your body butter will be smooth as silk.
