Lavender Body Butter - Bath Blend of the Month

Getting rough patches on your elbows, knees and heels from the summer activities?  This is the recipe for you. This smoothing and soothing body butter is packed with oils to nourish and fortify your skin.

Lavender Body Butter

1/4 cup cocoa butter

2 Tbls sunflower oil

1 Tbls coconut oil

1 Tbls flaxseed oil

2 Tbls grated beeswax

1 tsp vitamin E oil

5 to 6 drop 100%  lavender essential oil

Combine all the ingredients in a double boiler (or in a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water), except the essential oil and heat gently until melted. Stir well, then remove from heat and stir in lavender essential oil.  Pour the mixture into clean containers. I recommend 4-ounce mason jars.  Allow to cool. You can pop into a refrigerator to speed up the cooling process.

TO USE: Massage into your skin, especially rough spots, like elbows, heels and knees.
