Nourishing Beeswax and Shea Butter Body Cream

To create this delightful body cream, you’ll need a few simple ingredients that work wonders for your skin. Beeswax forms a protective barrier, while shea butter offers deep moisturization properties. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

1/2 cup shea butter
1/4 cup beeswax pellets
1/4 cup coconut oil
20 drops of your favorite essential oil (optional)
1 tsp vitamin E oil (optional)

Instructions

Start by setting up a double boiler. To do this, fill a saucepan with water and place it over medium heat. Then place a heat-resistant bowl or smaller pot on top, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water.
Add the shea butter, beeswax pellets, and coconut oil to the bowl. Allow them to melt together, stirring occasionally until the mixture is completely smooth.
Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat. If you’re using essential oils and vitamin E oil, stir them in now. The essential oils not only offer a pleasant fragrance but can also add additional skin benefits.
Let the mixture cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes. It’s crucial not to let it harden completely, as you want to pour it into your containers while it’s still pourable.
While it cools, prepare your storage containers. Small glass jars or tins work great for this body cream.
Once the mixture has cooled to a warm temperature, pour it into the prepared containers. Allow the cream to set completely at room temperature, which may take a few hours.
After the body cream has fully set, it’s ready to be used! Apply it generously to dry areas of your skin and enjoy the nourishing benefits it provides.

This DIY body cream makes for an excellent gift or a special treat for yourself. With just a few natural ingredients, you’ll have a creamy delight to keep your skin feeling soft and hydrated all day long. Happy crafting!
