Cinnamon Vanilla Body Butter

This Body Butter looks and smells good enough to eat. It is an easy, luxurious way to pamper yourself or someone else. This scent is fabulous for year round.  It moisturizes and softens the skin! 

Body butter is rich and hydrating (it’s not like lotion – especially store brand lotion which normally has a thin consistency). It’s absorbed into the skin after a few minutes.

Cinnamon is cleansing, it plumps the skin by increasing collagen, and is an antiseptic, and great for eczema. Test some on your skin first, some people are sensitive to cinnamon and it may give your skin a slight pink blush (you can leave it out if you are sensitive to it).


INGREDIENTS:

1 cup Shea Butter
½ cup Coconut Oil
2 tsp. Cinnamon
2 tsp. Vanilla Extract

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat shea butter and coconut oil over medium low heat in a double-boiler.
2. Stir frequently until melted.
3. Remove from heat allow pan to cool.
4. Place in refrigerator just until mixture starts to set up- about 20 minutes – it should be opaque.  I put mine in the freezer as I was a bit impatient.
5. Mix on high for 3-5 minutes until light, fluffy, and triple in size.
6. Add cinnamon and vanilla extract, whip an additional 2 minutes.
7. Store in an airtight container- mason jars are perfect for this.
