Well, I have been trying many formulas trying to come up with the best repair body butter I can for aging skin. I hope found the fountain of youth with this recipe! It’s great on elbows and hands after gardening. I also love using on my heels at night. I just put a pair of socks on and wake up feeling like I have been pampered.
Give it a try and tell me what you think. My formula and directions are not as detailed for the novice but anyone who has made an emulsion before should have no trouble with this recipe.
What you will need…
Essential Oil
25 - 30 drops - I used Tuberose
Oil Portion:
14 grams avocado oil
12 grams sal butter
8 grams emu oil
8 grams yellow beeswax
6 grams of kokum butter
4 grams lecithin
2 grams of virgin coconut oil
2 grams stearic acid
Water Portion:
26 grams distilled water
¼ tsp xantham gum
¼ tsp borax
The resulting body butter is luxurious and smells divine. It comes in a nice deep yellow color since the lecithin and yellow beeswax added color.
