DIY Orange Chocolate Body Butter: The Moisture Miracle You Can Almost Eat

Welcome to winter in the Great White North—where the air is drier than your sense of humor after scraping the windshield for the third time this week. If you're living on the prairies, you know what I'm talking about: skin so parched it practically begs for help in Morse code.
Enter your new favorite winter savior: DIY Orange Chocolate Body Butter. This stuff is smoother than freshly zambonied ice and smells like a gourmet dessert, but it’s strictly for moisturizing. (Okay, if you accidentally taste it, we won’t judge. It’s all non-toxic.)

Here’s the lineup of skin-loving goodness:

  • Cocoa Butter & Shea Butter: These two are the moisturizing dream team—rich, creamy, and they’ll have your skin saying, “What cracked heels?”
  • Coconut Oil & Jojoba Oil: A little tropical escape for your skin. They hydrate, soften, and add a touch of luxury to this simple recipe.
  • Essential Oils (Orange & a hint of Vanilla): A bright, citrusy burst with just the right amount of warmth—like a sunny day trapped in a jar.

The Recipe (makes over 2 cups):

  1. Melt 1/2 cup of cocoa butter (not deodorized, you want that rich chocolate smell), 1/2 cup of shea butter, and 1/2 cup of coconut oil in a double boiler (or a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water—because we’re fancy like that).
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of jojoba oil.
  3. Let the mixture cool in the fridge for one hour or until it starts to thicken on the edges, then whip it with a mixer until it looks like frosting.
  4. Add 10–15 drops of orange essential oil and 5 drops of vanilla (optional but amazing). Whip again until you can't stop smiling at how good it smells.
  5. Scoop into jars and label it with something cheeky like, “For Your Skin, Not Your Spoon.”

Why You Need This Butter:

  1. It’s cheaper than buying fancy moisturizers at the store.
  2. It’s free of nasty chemicals.
  3. It doubles as the ultimate handmade gift for the personal-care-product lover in your life.
  4. Your skin will be so soft, you’ll glide across the dry prairie air like a skating rink pro.
So what are you waiting for? Melt that butter and give your skin (and your gift-giving game) the glow-up it deserves.
P.S. If your family eats all the chocolate, this body butter might just save the day.

I wish I had started sooner!

 
If someone had told me seven years ago that we would have completely overhauled the products we use in our home and would be building an additional income stream in network marketing, I would have told them they were crazy!
 
I got my free Young Living account and bought a little box of oils with a diffuser in December 2017.  I thought this was going to be the next step in making my house smell great...boy oh boy, I was right and wrong all at the same time.  First of all, it never occurred to me for years and years that the slight headache I seemed to always have had anything to do with the products in my home.  I just never considered that the dish soap, hand soap, laundry products, air fresheners and so on (and there was almost no end to the scented products we used) were doing anything other than smelling good…or at least what I thought was good at the time.
 
I went to a presentation about reducing the harsh chemicals in our homes and I was shocked.  What if this information was true?  What if the headaches, challenges with sleep and hormonal swings were a result of the products I was using?  The only way to know for sure was to make the switch and see.   It didn’t take long for us to be sleeping better, have more energy, less headaches and reduced stress as well as we had created another stream of income into our home that helped so much during some crazy uncertain times.   We realized early on that not only was the income a blessing to us but so many other people were looking for something just like this! We worked hard to achieve the place we are now in our Young Living business and will continue our mission to help empower families in their physical, mental and financial wellness because it is one of the best feelings in the world to know that others are benefiting from something we love so much!

Let's chat about how you can make an income while you make an impact!  Don't hesitate, I wish I had started sooner!
