Have you ever made your own body butter? What ingredients do you use?
That looks divine! *swoons*
I love mixing body butters–lotion is a joke to my dry skin. My fav recipe is a mix of unrefined shea butter, Lily of the Desert aloe vera gel, organic extra virgin coconut oil and honey (Note: I eyeball the measurements. Sorry). It’s smells wonderful and leaves my skin smooth. I’ve never problems with it spoiling–it might be due the preservative in the LOTD aloe vera gel.
Right now, I’m lazy so I use plain unrefined shea butter. Soon, I want to try making a body butter with a mx of unrefined shea butte & vanilla bean-infused organic extra virgin coconut oil. I might through in a bit of cocoa butter for good measure. Infusing vanilla beans in coconut oil is simple and smells wonderful, by the way.

These both sound great. Will have to check them out. Thx for the link to the tut!
