Today, we are making a homemade whipped body butter for eczema and dry skin that is made with simple and natural ingredients and no beeswax.
I have been making my own natural body butter for my eczema for several years now and it has helped dramatically in reducing my symptoms of eczema. This body butter is made with all natural oils, shea butter and herbs that reduce inflammation and itchiness associated with eczema and provides long lasting hydration for the skin.

RECIPE:
1/2 cup shea butter (~70 grams)
1/2 cup sunflower oil (~100 grams)
1/4 cup coconut oil (~30 grams)
1/4 cup plantain leaf
1/4 cup lavender
1/4 cup calendula
1 tsp vitamin E oil
10 drops peppermint essential oil
30 drops patchouli essential oil
*can switch the essential oils with your favorite one
*can omit coconut oil if your skin is sensitive to it
Using a double boiler, set heat to medium and melt the shea butter and coconut oil with the sunflower oil. Once almost all the way melted, reduce heat to low and add in the herbs. Heat on low for 30-45 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Strain out the herbs. Add in vitamin E oil and essential oils. Place in freezer for 20-25 minutes to continue cooling.
Blend with a hand mixer for a 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes more creamy and opaque in color. If still pretty liquidy, place in freezer for an additional 10 minutes. Then blend for 3-5 minutes until buttery smooth and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl/container. Store in an airtight container.
