We’ve all read the articles that solidify our concerns  about additives in cosmetics and skin care products. While this is disturbing to some, to others, so long as it’s not being ingested, the skin will provide a suitable barrier. What people forget is that harsh chemicals can still be absorbed through the skin, and with that in mind we set about making a natural soothing body butter.

The result is made with shea butter, coconut oil, Vanilla oil and Vitamin E.

1. Place the shea butter into a mixing bowl.
2. Melt the coconut oil and add this to the bowl (Please note: Coconut oil solidifies at room temp, so you’ll need to melt it, placing in bowl of warm water works.)
   
3. Add in the Vitamin E and Vanilla.
4. Freeze the mixture for 10 minutes, then whip with a fork for a better consistency.
5. Add the contents to a air tight, sealed container.
