Free recipe: ‘Real’ Coconut Body Butter
For those who read my earlier blog post: ‘When is a coconut, not a coconut! I thought I’d show you how easy is to make ‘real’ coconut body butter, that feels and smells delicious. (It’s even good enough to eat!)
Real coconut butter is easy to make
I love pure virgin coconut oil. It is one of the best natural ingredients you can use on your skin and hair.
Coconut oil penetrates the skin’s deeper layers helping strengthen the underlying tissue, leading to more youthful looking skin. It has amazing skin softening and moisturising properties, and is rich in natural antioxidants, (helping reduce skin-damaging free-radicals).
You can also use it as a pre-wash conditioner for softening dry and damaged hair.
Virgin coconut oil is semi solid at room temperature, but readily melts to a liquid when warmed (but don’t heat in a microwave).

When is a coconut, not a coconut!
Where's the coconut?
Following my last blog post, ‘You’ll approve of this Mum‘, here’s the list of ingredients taken from the label of a jar of coconut body butter, ‘with coconut oil’, given to my daugher as a Christmas present.
Alongside each ingredient is a description from the Skin Deep Cosmetics Database.
As well as several which raise real health concerns, I was amazed to find a large number associated with Animal Testing and Animal Cruelty. A contradiction to the manufacturers claim on the label; ‘AGAINST ANIMAL TESTING’.

You’ll approve of this Mum – or would I?
Happy New Year!
As the festive season draws to a close, I’m sure most of us will be left with a fuzzy feeling of warmth and gratitude for all the gifts we shared.
My daughter was given a lovely gift box (bought at a well know high street body care store), containing ‘Coconut Body Butter’ – with coconut oil . It looked very natural (packaged in a hessian covered box with coconut prints, and filled with wood wool). But is seems that this was far from the truth!
Coconut oil is one of nature's delights
I couldn’t help but take an interest, as my daughter slathered on the body butter, filling the room with the smell of coconut. “You’ll approve of this Mum”, she said.
Intrigued, I tried some on the back of my hand, and having a nose for natural smells, I suspected that this wasn’t the smell of natural coconut. After washing my hands, the smell of coconut still lingered on my skin (despite having used a lemongrass hand soap)! This prompted me to look at the label.
On the underside of the tub in thirteen languages were the words: ‘Coconut Body Butter, for Normal to Dry Skin. Keep in a cool place.’ But where was the ingredients list? Ah ha!! It took me a while to realise that it was a ‘peel back’ label.
