Homemade body cream.
Here is a recipe for a homemade body cream that you can make at home:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup cocoa butter
1/4 cup beeswax
1/4 cup shea butter
10-15 drops essential oil (optional, for scent)
Instructions:
In a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the coconut oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, and shea butter until they are fully melted and combined.
If using, add in the essential oil and stir to combine.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the cream to a clean jar or container and let it cool completely before sealing and labeling.
To use, apply a small amount of the cream to your skin and massage in until it is fully absorbed.
Note: This recipe makes a fairly thick cream, so if you prefer a lighter texture you can adjust the ratios of the ingredients or add in a small amount of carrier oil (such as jojoba oil or almond oil) to thin it out. You can also customize the scent of the cream by using different essential oils or by adding in fragrant herbs or flowers (such as lavender or rose petals).
