There’s no doubt that our skin dries up in the midst of the winter, so I asked my friend Diana to show me how to make her incredibly homemade rose & coconut body butter. The all-natural ingredients leave you with baby soft skin and a hint of rose.

You’ll Need:
– ½ cup raw coconut oil
– ½ cup unrefined cocoa butter

I love to make my own bodybutters. It’s so simple, saves you money and there’s definitely nothing nasty in them. Plus you can choose the scents you really like. All-round win!
Btw,you can always add some Vitamin E to it, that makes the oils last longer. And adding a bit of cornstarch is a good idea too.(I’d say for example for the pot here about a teaspoon). It’ll make the butter a bit softer, less greasy.
Thanks again. This is great.
Woah, I am so doing this! It’d make an awesome gift too!
Lovely idea 🙂

I’ve also wondered how they make body butter and have curiously dabbled in different recipes but they always seemed much too complicated for my tastes. This seems super easy, i just may have to give it a try!
