Natural organic Body Butter

This Body Butter is particularly good for our climate and if you are already fond of Body Butter, this is extremely delicious, just as a natural butter should be. There are no parabens, chemicals and other unwanted substances here, only pure and natural ingredients and it is home-made in my kitchen.

Natural organic Body Butter with Shea butter

This natural and organic Body Butter is soft, airy and creamy - and then it melts on the skin. Shea butter has a high natural content of Shea, Allantoin and Vitamin A and E. It also contains a little cinnamic acid, giving it a small natural sun factor of approx. 2. I have chosen to make this natural and organic Body Butter with refined Shea Butter and therefore the cream has the characteristic and distinctive scent of incense and nuts. If the scent is too strong, you can leave the cream uncovered for a while, then the scent will decrease in strength a little.

Olibanum - a small miracle in the natural and organic Body Butter

I have added 6 drops of organic, essential Olibanum oil. This organic, genuine and essential Olibanum oil is produced by steam distillation of the resin from organic Indian frankincense wood. The properties of the oil include; pain reliever, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antioxidant, digestive etc. The oil was used by the Egyptians as an offering to the gods and as a rejuvenating face mask.

I have added the oil for its skin healing properties and Olibanum oil can be used as a treatment for acne, spots on the skin, dry skin, wrinkles, skin disorders, and various wounds.

Geranium - floral scent in the natural and organic Body Butter

The natural and organic Body Butter is added with 6 drops of organic, essential Geranium oil. Geranium is called Storkenæb in Danish and the species-rich plant comes in many colours. In Denmark, we have a few wild-growing species, including the Red Stork's beak, which I have a part of in the garden and which you can see here in the picture. The geranium oil has a strong, sweet scent of rose flowers. I have used the oil in the natural and organic Body Butter, among other things, because Geranium oil promotes circulation in the skin and is a good lymphatic cleanser that helps against water retention and cellulite, as well as being firming, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and healing.

Natural organic Body Butter - pampering for the skin

This body butter is only made from organic and natural ingredients and if you would like to try making your own butter, you can get the recipe here:

For 200 ml of natural organic Body Butter, you need the following:

100 g organic Shea butter - use the refined one if you don't want the smell of nuts.
50 g organic Coconut Oil - I like the ones where the scent is preserved.
50 g organic almond oil
5 drops of vitamin E oil
6 drops organic Olibanum oil
6 drops of organic Geranium oil

You need that to make natural organic Body Butter

Refractory beaker/glass
Stirring stick
Kitchen scale or letter scale
Pot
Hand mixer
Dough scraper or possibly flat wooden stick
A bucket/glass or jar for the cream

How to make natural organic Body Butter

Put the shea butter and coconut oil in a refractory bucket/glass and melt it all in a water bath.
When it is completely melted, pick up the glass and wipe it clean of condensation (water must not get into your body butter). Let the oil cool for 30 minutes.
After cooling, add the almond oil, vitamin E and possibly the essential oil you have chosen and stir well with a spoon or similar.
Place the oil in the freezer or refrigerator until it starts to thicken.
When the oil is thick, whip with the hand mixer until it gets the desired body butter consistency. I whip for a long time, as it then becomes very airy and completely white.
You can use a dough scraper to put your Body Butter on glass or in a jar/bucket. Your natural and organic Body Butter is now ready for use and can last for at least 6 months, as it does not contain water and has added vitamin E.

It is a slightly expensive hobby to indulge in homemade cream production, but it is all worth it when you feel the effect on the skin, which will be happy to be free of additives, artificial perfume, parabens and other harmful chemicals.

Enjoy!
