Body butters are some of my favorite DIY projects to make at home, and they don’t take much time or expertise to make! They’re a super easy DIY skincare product yet still feel luxurious and nourish your skin as much as any expensive brand. What’s especially exciting about making body butter, though, is that all you need is a couple of ingredients and about 5-10 minutes.

One of my favorite beauty products I used to buy was body butter at The Body Shop. I loved the texture and consistency, and their scents were always amazing. I would buy one and be done with it within about four days! This wasn’t very conducive to being on a budget in my 20s (they weren’t cheap), so I had to forego this little luxury until I entered the world of DIY beauty.

Easily Make Body Butter at Home

Once I started making my own skincare products, I happily realized that I could make my own body butter! I started by trying to make body butter with cocoa butter, which was one of my favorite scents. It was a messy process, and the butter ended up hardening. Then I tried it with shea butter, which worked much better, but at the same time was also messy to make and ruined some of my kitchen utensils.

Lastly, I tried making it with coconut oil, which by far has been the easiest process for me. Plus, I don’t have to order coconut oil online and then wait for it to ship. If I need it quick, I can just run over to Trader Joe’s or my local health food store and grab some. I also don’t need to melt it (if anything, it’s the opposite), and it’s easy on my utensils.

Body Butter Ingredients:

Materials

  • Mixing bowl
  • 4 oz mason jar

Step 1. Coconut oil consistency

The first step is to look at the consistency of the coconut oil. We’re just on the tail end of summer, so your coconut oil might be more on the melty side. To make the consistency solid quickly, fill the 4 oz mason jar with the oil and pop it in the fridge for about 10 minutes.

If you’re starting out with coconut that is already hard as a rock, place the jar in a pot of hot water so it can soften. It should still look white and a bit hard when it’s ready, but you should be able to easily stick a knife or a fork in it.

Step 2. Mixing the Body Butter

Transfer the coconut oil to a mixing bowl and simply mix it with a fork or a spoon. For me, a fork works best. At this point, you’re whipping the oil into a butter, so it should be pretty soft and easy to mix. If it’s still too hard, just let it sit out for a bit longer.

Step 3. Sea Buckthorn oil

Once the oil has the consistency of body butter, add the sea buckthorn oil to give it that beautiful amber color. Sea buckthorn oil is orange, and a little goes a long way! This oil is also renowned for its anti-aging properties and essential fatty acids.

Step 4. Essential oils

Lastly, add the carrot seed and rose essential oils and mix again. Don’t use more than the amounts in the recipe. Essential oils are powerful, and a little goes a long way.

Step 5. Storage and Usage

Transfer the butter back to the mason jar and store it in a cool, dry place when not in use or in the fridge during the warmer seasons. Use after a shower or bath on semi-damp skin. Take a scoop from the container and massage it into your skin as desired.

  1. Just wondering if I can replace the Sea Buckthorn oil with a different oil?

  2. what an amazing body butter – i have made this and since then i have had a mastectomy – it is so soothing on the surgery site – after the drains and dressings were removed obvs – i have found it is relaxing the scar tissue and keeping the skin soft – so i apply it at least 3-4 times a day – the skin just sucks it up – lol – i am getting into also now applying it as a body butter – it is simply amazing – but i need to ask – why does my cat eat it – i had left the lid off as i got sidetracked in the bathroom laundry and came back to my cat scoffing it – gently got it away from her – she wanted to follow the jar – lol – but got the hint when the lid went on – so she sat there licking her lips – is it safe for her?? – she is a little guts and eats anything moving or still – just hope i havent made her get sick on me tonight – its winter and trying to snow so she wont be able to get outside – which quickly brings me to another point – its the first body butter that hasnt set like a brick for me in the middle of winter – i can get minus 10-17 degrees Celsius – dont know what that is in Fahrenheit – so anyways – will it make my greedy guts of a cat sick??

    1. You should keep this, and all other beauty products, away from kitty. If you have concerns about your cat acting strangely please ring your vet. Hopefully, the worse that happens is a dodgy tummy though :)
