I
will never forget this day, my friend Krista and I were working on
making our products for sale. I was putting some sugar scrub into a
jar and I couldn't get the lid on. I turned it over and tried to push
the lid into the jar by pushing it into the counter, what you see
below is the result.
Needless
to say I went to the hospital for stitches, the next day I woke up
and my hand hurt to bend and itched like crazy. So I rubbed some of
our body butter on it and it helped. However because of what it is
made of it is greasy. So I decided to put it on and then put plastic
gloves on. I even did that when I went to bed. The next day I woke up
and my hand looked like this....
Making
the body butter is easy and it really soaks into your skin, I found
after my hand was healed the best time to use it was right after my
shower. I would lather my body with it and then pat myself dry, I
would stay moisturized for the rest of the day. I was soft and
smelled good too. Below is a picture of how we use to sell it.
Now
are you ready for the recipe? You will need to get everything online
except the coconut oil, I get it from eBay its the cheapest!
1/4c
shea butter
1/4c
cocoa butter
1/4c
coconut oil
1/4c
sweet almond oil
10-20
drops of your favorite essential oil (I always used either orange or
lime, it made it smell like a pie)
You
will want to use a mixer and mix everything together until it looks
like icing. I did find the mason jars were hard to get it out when it
started running low, so for my own use I went to dollar tree and
bought cheap containers to put it in.
