Serves: 2½ cups
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup shea butter soap base
  • ½ Tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ Tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Place the coconut oil and shea butter in a small saucepan. Stir occasionally, over medium-low heat, until completely melted.
  2. Remove from heat and pour into a large microwave-safe bowl. (I used a large glass Pyrex bowl).
  3. Chill for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
  4. Remove from the refrigerator and mix on medium-high speed with an electric mixer for 5 minutes. (If the mixture is too hard to mix, microwave on HIGH for 15 seconds and continue the mixing process.
  5. Add the vanilla and cinnamon. Whip for an additional 2 minutes until the body butter is smooth and creamy.
  6. Transfer to your favorite airtight glass container and store in a cool place for up to 3 months.

HOW TO USE

This DIY Vanilla Cinnamon Body Butter is a soft and luxurious skin moisturizer that can be used after a bath or shower. You can use it all over or just on any problem dry areas such as your elbows and knees. It’s much thicker than moisturizing lotion so a little goes a long way! Enjoy the sweet vanilla and cinnamon scents!

    Hi! My name is Bianca and I would like to know if the three months mentioned refer to the expiration date to use, or if it is just to save the product and wait to use. Sorry, it was really confused just reading.
    Please try to answer me as soon as possible. Thanks
