Body Butter


Body Butter

1/2 cup of cocoa butter
1/2 cup of coconut oil
1 cup of shea butter
1/2 cup of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil
1 tsp of vitamin E

Melt the cocoa butter, coconut oil, and shea butter in a double boiler on medium heat (once brought to a boil). You can also use a sauce pan on low heat, or melt the ingredients in a microwave by stirring in 30 second intervals.

Once fully melted, add the almond or jojoba oil (or both if you like) as well as the vitamin E.

Stir for a few seconds, then allow the mixture to solidify.

Once it has solidified, whisk the butter into a whipped consistency, then place in a container and use as needed.

Lotion Bars


Lotion Bars

1 part vegetable shortening

 1 part vegetable oil

 1 part beeswax

Melt the shortening and beeswax a double boiler or a little pan in a bigger pan of simmering water. Stir in the vegetable oil. Pour into cups/molds and let cool. Pop out of “mold” and it’s ready to use. The beeswax will fragrance the bars with a nice, light honey smell, or you can stir in a little essential oil before you pour it into the molds.

To use: Let the warmth of your hand melt a little of the bar and rub into dry skin–hands, feet, elbows, etc.

Luxury Lotion Bars1 part shea butter
1 part avocado oil
1 part beeswax
1200 IU vitamin E (1 lg. capsule) per every 6-8 oz. other oils
essential oil (optional)

Melt shea butter and beeswax in a double boiler or small pan in larger pan of water on the low heat setting of the stove. Stir in avocado oil and vitamin E and essential oil (optional). Pour into mold(s) and allow to cool. Pop out of mold if desired or leave it in a dish and scrape off a little as needed.

Note: Shea butter can occasionally become grainy. To avoid this, use just enough heat to get your ingredients to melt. Once your ingredients are blended, cool your mixture quickly by pouring into shallow container(s) in a cool room or popping it into the fridge to cool (not the freezer).
