Whipped DIY lavender body butter
Mattia (my Italian husband) and I live in Sofia, where the weather during winter could be really harsh. The constantly dry air and cold temperatures take a toll on our skin. I tried different skincare products to help cure my sore hands and skin, but unfortunately, nothing worked!
During that period, my skin is so sensitive that every little thing is irritating. And it really hurts.
Over the past few years, I’ve experimented extensively with my body butter recipes. Last Christmas, I made Homemade Whipped Body Butter as a gift for my best friend. I remember she was really happy with this homemade body butter, so I decided to try it.
I love that this DIY lavender body butter only needs 15 minutes of active prep time; a great DIY project for the busy holiday season. And the best part is that my easy whipped body butter recipe is made with all-natural ingredients and fragrances.
This lavender body butter gives you a great skincare recipe to add to your winter skincare routine.
This lavender body butter is so easy to make, looks like frosting, and will make your skin super soft.
This body butter combines shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, and lavender essential oil. This homemade lavender body butter is a must-have for your winter skincare routine.
Homemade lavender whipped body butter ingredients
I have used a mixture of shea and cocoa butter for this recipe as they work great together. Cocoa butter is harder than shea butter, which is why I don’t recommend using 100% cocoa butter, as it will make the end product quite solid, like a rock.
shea butter – is an incredible moisturizer and will make your skin look and feel hydrated and supple. Shea butter is high in vitamins A and E. It will make your skin feel amazing.
coconut oil – gives the final product. Coconut oil is known as a slow-absorbing oil, it may take a little longer for it to be absorbed into the body. Even so, it is a very good oil for dry skin.
cocoa butter – cocoa butter can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
lavender essential oil – is soothing and calming
Studies show that lavender aromatherapy is effective at quelling mild stress and anxiety. The lavender essential oil is relaxing and perfect for this whipped body butter recipe. But you can easily swap the lavender for rose, sweet orange, or another essential oil of your choice.
