Making the gift is easy.   We love using our 100% Raw Shea butter.  In this recipe we used Lavender Oil but you can use any of your favorite essential oils.  Once it’s made all you have to do is add it to a cute little mason jar and decorate it with a fun ribbon.  We have even included some Free Lavender Body Butter Cream Printable Labels for you.  Print them on easy peel labels.

We used the liquid dyes in purple color to give this homemade body butter cream it’s color.  These are the same types of dye colors you use in homemade soaps.  You can purchase just the primary colors and mix equal parts of red and blue to make the color purple.  I’ve also heard you can use regular food coloring but I haven’t tried that yet myself.

I had a heck of a time trying to find the right sized jar for this gift.  You don’t want it to be too big and you don’t want it to be too small either.  I found the wide mouth half pint mason jars work just perfect.  Do yourself a favor and order them online because they are super hard to find in the stores.  If you are lucky you may find some jars at the dollar store but it’s hit or miss and they almost never have something you want right when you want it.  You know what I mean right?!

Some people also call this recipe a whipped body butter cream.  When you whip it with the mixer it creates a super light lotion that’s amazing!
