What you need to make Homemade Body Butter

• A double boiler – You can always use a large heat safe bowl on top of a pan with a little water in it, but the double boiler makes it so easy! 
• Hand mixer – after your body butter cools a little you will want to beat your body butter to make it smooth. 
• Time – this isn’t a quick recipe, but it’s pretty hands-off so you can make it while you’re getting other things done. The mixture will need to heat on the stove for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. 

How to use this Homemade Body Butter 

• Every day all year for the entire body. 
• Face Cream (add frankincense essential oil for extra skin support – optional)
• Diaper Cream (add gentle baby or lavender essential oil – optional)
• Chest Rub (add eucalyptus and peppermint essential oil)
• Muscle Rub (add peppermint or cypress essential oil) 

*I only recommending using Young Living Essential Oils for their purity and quality control for producing 100% Therapeutic grade Essential Oils.

I made this DIY Body Butter for several of my friends for Christmas and put it in little 4 Ounce Mason Jars to give away. Since this is one of my favorite beauty products, I thought it would make a great gift for my girlfriends.

Another reason this is one of my favorite products that I use daily is because I can use it as a carrier oil for Essential Oils.

I do not add my oils at the time I make it because I want to add my oils in as needed. One day I might add Peppermint and Eucalyptus for breathing, and the next day I may add Pan-Away and Peppermint for muscle support. 

I simply put some body butter in my hands, add the oils I want, and rub on my body where needed. It’s so simple! If you want more information about Essential Oils, Click Here! 

Make a batch for your friends and give it away at Christmas, Birthdays, Mother’s Day, or Valentine’s Day!

Also, be sure to try this Homemade Peppermint Lavender Lip Balm! It’s another one of my favorite go-to easy gift ideas for friends, neighbors, or giveaways!
