How to Make Coconut Body Butter

Coconut body butter can make your skin feel luxuriously smooth and silky. It is a great treatment for dry skin, but don't limit its uses to those areas. The following blend is full of great ingredients and is sure to smell great, so use it yourself or give it as a gift.

Things You'll Need

• 6 ounces of shea butter, coconut butter or mango butter 1 ounce of virgin coconut oil 1.5 ounces of sesame oil 1 ounce of jasmine wax or beeswax ½ teaspoon of Vitamin E 2 to 4 drops of rose otto Glass or plastic containers

Instructions

1. Begin heating the butter, wax and coconut oil on low heat. They should melt quickly.

2. Pour the mixture into blender or an electric mixer. Blend well.

3. Add remaining ingredients and blend again. By now, it should begin to cool and become creamy.

4. Pour into containers, cover and allow to cool completely. If you want to reduce cooling time, refrigerate.

5. Store in the refrigerator between uses. Since this blend contains no preservatives like the store brands, it will spoil.
