Natural Vanilla Body Butter Recipe

The ultimate luxurious body treatment; this butter will leave you absolutely glowing.

Shelf Life: 1 year

Benefits: Aloe is full of antioxidants, helps to soothe and hydrate the skin, and can even help to minimize the appearance of stretch marks.

Shea butter and coconut oil are both ultra hydrating and full of skin nourishing vitamins, and beeswax helps to lock in moisture and protect your skin.

Tips and Tricks: To make this extra au-natural, use aloe from a plant rather than a bottle! Simply cut open a leaf and scrape out the gel inside.

One tablespoon is equal to approximately 6 small aloe leaves.

Variations: Sub coconut oil for carrier oil of choice, shea butter for butter of choice, and vanilla extract for essential oil of choice.

Level of Difficulty: Medium
