Belly Butter
This is a member favorite cream to rub over your belly, hips, legs, and basically anywhere that’s growing in a pregnant body to help keep your skin looking just as healthy as it did pre-baby. It makes the perfect baby shower gift and is so simple to make.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unrefined organic coconut oil
1/4 cup organic unrefined Shea butter
2 TBS vitamin E oil
1 TBS V-6 oil
20 drops Frankincense essential oil
15 drops lavender essential oil
5 drops lemon essential oil
5 drops Sacred Frankincense essential oil
10 drops Myrrh essential oil
Tip: add in some beeswax and use less coconut oil if you want a more solid butter
Directions:
Melt the coconut oil and shea butter until it becomes a liquid using a double boiler if possible. If you don’t have a double-boiler, boil the water in a pan and put ingredients in a large glass measuring bowl over the boiling water. Once the coconut oil and shea butter are liquid, take the ingredients off heat. Quickly stir in vitamin E oil and V-6 oil. Once it’s slightly cooled, add the essential oils and stir together. Pour the mixture into glass containers.
