If all of THAT doesn't wanna make you try this homemade matcha body butter, I don't know what will!
You'll Need:
- 4 oz refined shea butter
- 1.25 oz liquid coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp carnauba wax
- 1/2 tsp matcha green tea powder
- 1/2 tsp lavender essential oil
- a few drops of vitamin E oil
Directions:
- In a double boiler or in the microwave, heat together the carnauba wax and shea butter until melted.
- If you happen to live in a particularly warmer area, you may need to double the amount of carnauba wax to keep your matcha body butter from melting.
- Let the wax and butter cool for a minute or two, then add in the coconut oil, matcha green tea powder, lavender oil, and vitamin e oil.
- Stir all ingredients until they're well combined and place in the refrigerator until it solidifies.
- Once solidified, remove from refrigerator and let it reach room temperature.
- Once it has reached room temperature, take a hand mixer and whip until smooth and creamy.
- Scoop your matcha body butter into a clean, airtight jar or container and it's ready to use!
- Slather it on all over your body (works great for the face as well) after a day at the beach, after a shower, or before bed – any time is a good time to use this amazing body butter!
