Ingredients:

  • Equal parts coconut butter, coconut oil, shea butter (measurements depend on amount of body butter you want to make; we recommend starting with 1/4 cup of each)
  • 1 tbsp Wedderspoon Mānuka Honey

    Optional:

    • Coloring
    • Fragrance
    • Essential Oils

      Directions:

      1. Put coconut butter, coconut oil and shea butter in a sauce pan. Keep on medium heat until completely melted.
      2. Remove from heat and let mixture sit until it is opaque. To speed up this process you can put the mixture in fridge or freezer for about 30 minutes.
      3. Once the mix is ready, use a hand mixer on a low setting to break it up. Add Wedderspoon Mānuka Honey, and, if using, add coloring, fragrance and essential oils. Whip mixture until it is fluffy.
      4. Transfer to a plastic container.
