NATURAL BODY BUTTER RECIPE

NATURAL BODY BUTTER

Hi every one, i know we all wondering ..and no this isn't cake neither is it frosting but my very second body butter come to life. lol @ 'come to life'

what is body butter? - its plain and simple lotion

i have always being a lover of natures gifts and blessings and when i came across this home made body butter, i was soo interested.

And yes, i didn't just start with making use of this butters.... i dumped all other lotions 5 years ago and i have never looked back.

why? well on the West side of Africa (Nigeria), temperature is humid and hot most times and using these well-known moisturizers from stores on my dry skin was not helping at all.

Once i start moisturizing before am done, i am soaked from head to toe in my own sweat.

'the ministry cant move like this eee'.

These body butters are  free from preservatives, parabens and all kinds of chemicals i just cant spell or pronounce..hehehe

any way i started using our own 'ori' shea butter and mixing with different plant oils - coconut oil, almond and the likes.

i have got to admit its really tough finding these oils here in Nigeria..but love drives me ..hehehe

'if you see me when i dey waka for market eh you go fear ...lol'

ok, i am rambling lets get this recipe out..

Homemade Butter with Shea and Coconut

Ingredients

1 cup Shea Butter

1 Tbsp Coconut oil

1 tsp Mustard seed oil

Essential oil of your choice (i used sandal wood) for it to have a nice fragrance.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients together in a bowl- due to the hot weather conditions here, i did not need to warm the butter or the oils.

start beating with a hand mixer. mix or beat for a few more minutes say 30 - 45 minutes or until it is fluffy and feels light to touch.

once its fluffy its all set, place in a glass jar. 

NOTE:

• Glass jars are better to use than the plastic containers- this is to reduce the presence of chemicals( polyethylene and the likes)that are cancer causing because plastics tend to shed gradually with time.

• Also homemade butters have no side effect on the health of any one using it. instead it is beautifully packed with anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and healing  properties
• It would feel greasy but do not be sacred, it is quickly absorbed 
• it can also be used on the hair  and 
  it saves cost...this one is lovely

there it is....yipee let me know what you think......
