DIY: Rose Lavender Shea Butter

With fall in season and winter on it’s way, my skin prefers a heavier moisturizer to combat the dryness of the air and for the past year and a half, I’ve relied on conventional lotions such as Shea Moisture & Honey Lab.

However, dealing with terrible packaging that made 1/4 of the container unusable (I’m especially looking at you, Shea Moisture) and having some excess of Shea Butter on hand (thank you grandma!) made this DIY project a no-brainer.

The Shea butter with the addition of coconut oil double down on the moisturizing effect of this body butter while lavender essential oils and rosebuds turn this run-of-the-mill butter into a luxurious treat.

Luxury is anything that feels special. I mean, it can be a moment, it can be a walk on the beach, it could be a kiss from your child, or it could be a beautiful picture frame, a special fragrance. I think luxury doesn't necessarily have to mean expensive.
