Benefits of the other ingredients used:
Sweet Almond oil is rich in Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant that helps heal sun damage, reduce the signs of aging, and fade scars. Thanks to its high content in Vitamin A and its antibacterial properties, Almond oil is excellent at treating acne. It soaks in quickly and is a powerful moisturizer.
Honey, especially Manuka honey, is great for acne and scar treatment; it has clarifying and anti-aging properties; it also gives a real boost to skin complexion thanks to its moisturizing and soothing properties.
Clove, Ginger and Nutmeg essential oils reduce swelling in joint and muscle aches, while Vanilla reduces nervous tension and promotes relaxation.
Ingredients & Instructions
- 1.5 oz Kokum butter
- 1.5 oz Sweet Almond oil
- 1 tsp Raw Honey or Manuka Honey
- 60 drops essential oils: Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger, Nutmeg, Vanilla Oleoresin
Melt Kokum butter using a double boiler (keep the temperature as low as possible). Add Sweet Almond oil. Let it cool for about five minutes, then add remaining ingredients. Transfer into an airtight container or a glass jar (I used this 4 oz amber glass jar) and let it cool down completely. The DIY body butter is ready!
Apply regularly to keep your skin hydrated and healthy!
Tip: To repair cracked feet, slather on body butter and put socks on your feet while the butter is still wet. It will help seal in the moisture and provide a more intense treatment.
