MAMA NATURAL’S BOOB AND BELLY BUTTER
Making my own personal care products is something I enjoy doing because I can control what goes in them! This is especially important to me during pregnancy. My recipe contains no parabens, phthalates, or artificial fragrances. Apply this soothing balm two or three times a day to the belly, breasts, and any skin irritations.
Ingredients
½ cup raw cocoa butter
ÂĽ cup raw shea butter
ÂĽ cup extra-virgin coconut oil
1 teaspoon vitamin E oil
2 tablespoons rosehip oil
2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
20 drops geranium, lavender, and/or frankincense essential oil
In a double boiler, gently melt cocoa butter, shea butter, and coconut oil until combined. Pour into a glass container and cool to room temperature. Add in remaining ingredients and mix well. Chill in the refrigerator until butter starts to solidify (about an hour). Remove from fridge and whip with an immersion blender until the texture is similar to whipped cream. Pour into a glass container, seal tight, and store in a cool, dark place. (The lotion will further harden.) Apply to belly, breasts, and body as needed.
