Simple Body Butter Recipe

Free From Recipes· Gluten Free Cosmetic Recipes

I’ve created a new body butter recipe and I just have to share it with you. It’s so simple to make with just three ingredients but incredibly decadent and moisturising.

I don’t know about you, but I get terribly dry skin in the winter. And as you’ll already know, I try to use natural products whenever I can. Years ago I gave up using bought body creams and potions. They are full of chemicals and toxins that get absorbed into our body.

Our skin is the largest organ in our body.

What we put on it is absorbed into the body.

Consider when you apply an ibuprofen containing gel to a part of your body you’ve strained or pulled. They make them because the ibuprofen is absorbed through the skin to get to work on the affected area.

If you are applying lots of creams and lotions that contain chemicals, the likelihood is that your skin is absorbing them. This will create more work for your liver as it removes these unwanted items.

Up until this point I’ve used an organic coconut oil for all my moisturising needs (face and body).

However, it’s very solid this time of year, making it tough to apply.

My body butter recipe overcomes this. It’s delightfully soft at room temperature (but not too soft) and smells amazing. It’s also super moisturising.

Body butter with essential oils.

I apply my body butter with essential oils.

Rather than add the essential oils to the body butter recipe, I chose what oil I need on a day to day basis.

Today I applied one drop of juniper and one drop of black pepper. I dropped them into the palm of my hand, added a scoop of my body butter, combined them and applied.

Juniper and black pepper are both good for the circulation. I suffer with Raynaud’s disease so I’m testing these oils to see if they can help improve my circulation.

However there are so many possibilities with essential oils. If you felt anxious you could use lavender or orange. If you were under the weather you could use doTerra’s OnGuard blend. The possibilities are endless.

Whats more, you don’t need any experience of essential oils. I just use an App called Modern Essentials. It lists ailments and what oils to try for them. It’s so simple.

So back to the simple body butter recipe. It would be perfect to give as gifts as well as for yourself.

Let me know what you think and don’t forget to Pin the recipe so you don’t lose it…

Vicki Montague, the Free From Fairy

Welcome!

Hi. I'm Vicki Montague, scientist and mum to 'Roo' (15) and 'Sunshine' (13). I'm a freelance recipe developer specialising in 'free from' food and spend many hours in my kitchen experimenting to create exciting healthy recipes that are all gluten-free & mainly dairy-free. In July 2016 I launched the world's first wholegrain, gluten-free and rice-free flour blends. In May 2018 I launched my first online programme to help people adapt to a gluten free life. I can be found at food festivals giving cookery demos and I love nothing more than teaching people how to cook and lead a positive wholesome life. Find out more about my story...
