coconut body butter

In an effort to cut out the products we use that have tons of icky chemicals, I have started cleaning out our cabinets and switching out all of our products for organic ones. One major change is that I have been using coconut oil as my moisturizer. It smells delicious and really soaks into my skin. Love it.

This little body butter concoction is super simple. This recipe is an upgrade from just getting the coconut oil out of the jar. You just whip it up and add some of your favorite essential oils.

Coconut Body Butter

Coconut oil
Your favorite essential oil

Place the desired amount of coconut oil in a mixer or blender. Whip the oil of about 6 or 7 minutes and add a few drops of essential oil. Put mixture in an air tight container. It will be soft, but hardens overnight.
