This homemade lotion, nah, whipped body butter is awesome-sauce times twenty. Having a good homemade body butter recipe is a much healthier option than store bought. This recipe uses nourishing fats and “butters” to help moisturize, nourish, and pamper dry skin.The peppermint essential oils give it a refreshing holiday smell, but it is also a great oil to use on sore muscles and cramps.
