What you put on your skin is equally as important as what you put into your body! This homemade body lotion, or body butter, is incredibly easy to make and will deeply nourish your skin. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and absorbs everything you put onto it. It's so easy to make your own skincare products using simple unprocessed ingredients. The base of this body butter recipe is shea butter. This solid fat comes from the nut of the African shea tree.
