10 natural moisturizersAfter yesterday’s post about the Dirty Dozen ingredients to avoid in cosmetics, I’m keen to try one of these natural moisturizers.  Since I love the smell of coconut, mostly because it conjures images of tropical holidays, I’m keen to try this recipe for coconut oil body butter.  For the article which accompanies this recipe, follow the link at the bottom.

DIY Whipped Coconut Oil Body Butter

*1 Cup of Organic Coconut Oil

* 1 teaspoon of Vitamin E oil (optional)

* A few drops of your favorite essential oils for fragrance (also optional) (lavendar or vanilla or whatever you prefer)

* A glass jar with a tight lid

* An electric hand mixer ( a blender or food processor WON’T work because it warms the coconut oil up too much!)
