Body Butter DIY

(recipe courtesy of self)
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup cocoa butter
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tbsp Vitamin E oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla essential oil
How to Make it:

1. On the  stove, warm the cocoa butter on medium heat in a pan until it becomes liquid.
2. Slowly stir in the coconut oil for about a minute, then turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for 20-30 minutes but don't let it completely set.
3. As soon as it cools, add the Vitamin E oil and vanilla essential oil. Using a whisk or a stick blender, whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. Place it into an air-tight container, so it does't loose it's light texture. Break off a small piece of the cinnamon stick and put it in each container.
4. You're ready for super soft yummy-smelling skin!
