Soothing Shea Butter Body Wash
This homemade body wash includes both sunflower oil and shea butter for a super soothing treat for your skin.
Yield: 16 ounces
Cost: $8
Equipment
- Liquid pump dispenser
Materials
- ½ cup shea butter
- ½ cup sunflower oil
- 1 cup Castile soap
Instructions
- Melt shea butter over low heat. I usually heat a few inches of water in a saucepan on low heat and put the butter in a heat-resistant measuring cup. Place the cup in the warm water until melted, then remove carefully.
- Add Castile soap, sunflower oil, and melted shea butter to the soap dispenser.
- Replace the cap and gently swirl the contents around to combine. Don't shake, or you'll activate the soap and get a bunch of bubbles!
Notes
Even though you're using a moisturizing body wash, it's still important to exfoliate, so I usually dry brush or use a body scrub in the shower. Then slather on a rich moisturizer as soon as you get out.
Use within 6–8 weeks.
