This is a light fluffy body butter that goes on wonderfully, absorbing to make the body feel great. I love this recipe.
Won’t this melt if it gets too warm?
If left in the sun for an extended time, yes it will melt. If you leave a jar in your car, gym bag or purse and it is exposed to heat yes it will melt.
Do you use liquid or solid coconut oil?
We use Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil. It is 100% pure organic coconut oil, and comes in a solid form.
I just love this body butter recipe!!!! So easy to make and it smells amazing with the essential oil of your choice!!! And less expensive then the other cream you buy🤓
