CocoPeppermint Foot Butter
An amazing blend of coconut oil, shea
butter and peppermint essential oil to revitalize tired feet. Shea Butter is
available at most natural foods stores. We like Everyday Shea by Alaffia

Ingredients
2 Tbsp Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil
5 Tbsp Shea Butter
40 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
Directions
1. In a double boiler over low heat, gently warm the coconut oil and shea
butter. Be careful not to melt the oil and butter – heat just enough to
blend easily. Once incorporated, transfer the oil and butter mixture to a
bowl.
2. Using an electric mixer, blend the coconut oil and butter on low to
medium speed until well incorporated, 1-2 minutes. Use a spatula to scrape
down the sides of the bowl and avoid having any clumps in the final product.
3. Increase the speed to medium for several minutes until the mixture is
thick and buttery. Continue to incorporate the ingredients by scraping the
sides of the bowl with a spatula.
4. Add the essential oil and blend to incorporate. The whole mixing process
should take 5 to 6 minutes.
Yields 4oz. Transfer to a container like a wide-mouth canning jar for easy
scooping. The peppermint oil gives a wonderful, tingling sensation for tired
feet. You can also substitute lavender essential oil for a calming effect.
