Whipped Honey Body Butter
Homemade body butters are easily one of my go-to products. In fact, homemade lotions were the first thing I began making when I started changing over my beauty products. They’re simple, smell great and insanely moisturizing for your skin! This whipped honey body lotion (like my diy grapefruit butter) is full of natural ingredients that will help your skin stay soft and smooth.
Honey has long been said to help improve the appearance of skin inflammation and scaring- making it a great addition to a homemade lotion! Not only can it help with tissue regeneration but it’s healing properties and amazing scent make it ideal to add to a body butter.

The other ingredients in the whipped body butter all promote silky, soft and smooth skin also. This means that this lotion is amazing for the entire body but specifically the legs and tummy. Be careful using it on your face however as it is oil based.
Like most homemade body butters, once you apple the lotion wait a few minutes before putting clothes on so that your skin has time to absorb the oils. Not only will this keep your skin soft but it prevents your clothes being ruined too!
I didn’t scent this body butter because the honey and beeswax create a light, calming scent but feel free to add any essential oils you’d prefer.
Ingredients In The Honey Body Butter
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Shae butter
- 1.5 tablespoons Beeswax Pellets
- 1 tablespoons Almond Oil

Let sit on the counter until the mixture hardens (roughly six hours but up to twenty four). They honey will look like it has separated to the bottom of the container.
Once harden, whip the body butter for two to three minutes until it is combined and looks light and fluffy.
Transfer it to a mason jar with a tight fitting lid.

Your measures conflict – article is 1.5 tbsp each of beeswax and honey but printable recipe lists 5 tbsp of each.
Which is correct?
