We all want soft, glowing, and healthy skin, but with so many products full of chemicals and toxins, it’s hard to know what’s safe to use. Imagine having a body butter that not only nourishes your skin but is made with non-toxic, safe ingredients you can trust. Well, you’re in the right place! Today, we’ll show you how to make your own luxurious body butter at home that’s as safe as it is effective.

Curious about what body butter actually is and why it’s such a game-changer for your skin? Let’s dive in.

What is Body Butter?

Body butter is a rich and creamy skincare product designed to deeply hydrate and nourish your skin. Unlike lighter lotions, body butters are packed with natural oils and butters, making them perfect for those with dry skin or anyone looking for a long-lasting moisture boost. The ingredients are typically rich in vitamins and antioxidants, providing a soothing, protective barrier for your skin. Not only does it lock in moisture, but it can also help improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of scars, and leave you feeling pampered and soft.

Want to make your own? Here's a recipe for a non-toxic, safe, and soothing body butter that will leave your skin feeling amazing. Plus, you can customize it with your favorite essential oils for an added therapeutic effect!

Body Butter Recipe

To make it easy, I've created a list on Amazon with all ingredients, just click HERE to access. I personally use DoTERRA essential oils, which you can learn more about below. 

DoTERRA Lavender essential oil 

DoTERRA Patchouli essential oil 

DoTERRA Lime essential oil 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup avocado butter
• 1/4 cup fractionated coconut oil
• 2 tbsp arrowroot powder (helps absorb the oils into the skin)
• 10 drops lavender essential oil
• 10 drops patchouli essential oil
• 8 drops lime essential oil

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter: In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl over boiling water, gently melt the avocado butter and fractionated coconut oil until fully liquefied. Stir occasionally.

2. Cool the mixture: Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for about 15-20 minutes. You want it to start to solidify but still be soft enough to whip.

3. Whip it up: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cooled butter and oil mixture until light, fluffy, and creamy—about 5-7 minutes. This gives your body butter that smooth, airy texture.

4. Add arrowroot and essential oils: Once whipped, gently fold in the arrowroot powder and essential oils. Continue whipping until fully combined. The arrowroot powder helps your skin absorb the oils quickly, while the essential oils provide soothing and calming effects.

5. Store: Scoop your luxurious body butter into a clean glass jar with a lid. Store it in a cool, dry place.
