My all-natural homemade brown sugar whipped shea butter body scrub!

Boy do i have a treat for you!! So i'm slowly making my way to all-natural products by making them all myself! Did you know you can make anything from chapstick, body butter, hair conditioner, foaming hand soap. and much much more....all from natural products without ANY of that stuff you can't pronounce in it??   I am having the time of my life making all this stuff, and may even end up with an all-natural product line on Etsy soon!!

Safe enough to eat (although i wouldn't recommend-lol!) and leaves your skin feeling soft and silky! Oh it's just amazing! And if you like this, you will absolutely ADORE the body butter recipe too-feels like whipped silk-UGH-i just can'tt rave enough about it!! I use the same recipe but omit the brown sugar, and then used pure cocoa butter for this one---no need to add a fragrance or essential oil either cause it smells just like a chocolate bar! It's like a little bit of HEAVEN! I have a ton more recipes, including ones for homemade bar soaps, if your into that. But beware, this ain't your grandmothers soaps! LOL, i promise you will be blown away by what you can create! Stay tuned for more recipes and pictures of my homemade products as i make the transition to a GREENER home!!

Here's everything you need for this luscious homemade body butter scrub!! 

You can find all the ingredients at your nearest health food store OR by searching on the internet! If you would like a list of reputable websites, then just email me! Good luck!!

Brown Sugar/Vanilla Whipped Shea (or Cocoa) Butter Body Scrub

1/2 C Raw Shea or Cocoa Butter 

1/3 C Carrier Oil (2 tbsp Sweet Almond, 2 tbsp Grapeseed Oil, 1 tbsp+ 1 tsp Safflower) mixed

1/8 tsp Vitamin E Oil

1 teaspoon Corn Starch (optional…makes the butter feel less greasy) 

Pure Essential Oil (Vanilla) start with a little and add to your liking

1/2 – 1 C Brown Sugar (make sure there are no lumps)

Place the Shea butter in a mixing bowl and heat in 15 second increments until soft (but not melted...Very Important!!) begin to beat with a mixer until the butter is creamy. Have patience…it may take a while for the friction of the beaters to soften the butter. Gradually add the carrier oil a small amount at a time and blend completely between additions. This is important or you will get lumpy butter. Add your Vitamin E oil in now. Blend in the cornstarch and then vanilla essential oil. Slowly start to mix in the sugar a little at a time until you achieve the desired consistency. Spoon into glass jars. Use a scoop to get product out so no water gets in and causes bacteria to form-this is because there is no preservatives added. I wanted to stay as close to natural as possible, and therefore the shelf life will be anywhere from 6-12 months...but i doubt you would have it that long anyway! Please be careful in shower, as the oils can make it quite slippery!
