Hi! Katie here, certified aromatherapist and creator of our Essential Oil Recipe Box, which includes this recipe this month.

I love this smooth and silky body butter–a perfect follow-up to shaving to soothe skin and prevent ingrown hairs and acne

This recipe is also a great beard cream for the men who don’t shave.

Coconut Oil (Solid)

Solid Coconut Oil is used to dilute the essential oils, making sure it’s safe to apply on your skin. It has antibacterial properties and helps give this recipe the right consistency for a natural shave butter. 

Fractionated Coconut Oil

Fractionated Coconut Oil is used to dilute the essential oils, making sure it’s safe to apply on your skin. Just like the solid coconut oil, it has antibacterial properties and helps give this recipe the right consistency for a natural shave butter. 

Timber Essential Oil Blend

This blend has a calming aroma and is skin soothing, both necessary elements to any shaving body butter.
