Hi, you're watching VisiHow! This is a tutorial on how to make your own homemade scented body butter. Homemade body butter is a great alternative to store bought body butter or creams because all of the ingredients are natural and contain no chemicals or harsh ingredients.

1. 1
   You're going to need a pot of boiling water and a glass container, or a double boiler

   .

   You will also need some coconut oil, make sure that it is virgin coconut oil, so it's not refined. As well as some shea butter, vitamin E, and any essential oils that you want to use to make the body butter smell good. For example, some lavender, lemon, or orange. We can also use a mixture of all of these and play with the essential oils to see what smells the best.

   Now that the body butter is done, we should put it in a smaller container so that it is easily accessible

   Transfer the body butter to the smaller container. If we wanted a fluffier consistency with the body butter, we could use a hand blender to blend all of the ingredients together.
