My mom has been making her own body butter for years so I thought it was time to share her recipe! All you need is a few simple ingredients and you’re left with no-toxic body butter for months.
Leave the shea butter out to soften. We left ours in the sun to help it soften but watch it closely so it doesn’t start to melt too much. Add the beeswax to a double boiler and melt completely. Pour the melted beeswax over the softened shea butter. Add the jojoba oil and a few drops of vitamin E oil. Using a hand mixer whip everything for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy. If using essentials oils add them now. Spoon into dry jars and let it set. Store in airtight jars in a cool, dry place away from heat and sunlight. Use within 3–6 months, enjoy!
