Ingredients:
To make your lavender-infused body butter, gather the following ingredients:
Shea Butter: 1/2 cup

Jojoba Oil: 2 tablespoons
Lavender Essential Oil: 15-20 drops
Dried Lavender Buds (optional): 1 tablespoon for added texture and visual appeal
Equipment:

Steps:
Melt Shea Butter and Coconut Oil: In a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl placed over simmering water, melt 1/2 cup of shea butter and 1/4 cup of coconut oil. Stir until fully melted and combined.
Add Jojoba Oil: Once melted, remove the mixture from heat and add 2 tablespoons of jojoba oil. Mix well to incorporate.
Infuse with Lavender: If you desire a subtle lavender texture, add 1 tablespoon of dried lavender buds to the mixture. Let it infuse for about 10-15 minutes, then strain the buds out.
Cooling Period: Allow the mixture to cool for about 15-20 minutes, but ensure it remains soft.
Add Lavender Essential Oil: Once the mixture has cooled slightly, add 15-20 drops of lavender essential oil. Stir well to evenly distribute the fragrance.
Whip the Body Butter: Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip the mixture until it reaches a fluffy consistency. This may take 5-10 minutes.
Transfer to Container: Spoon the whipped lavender-infused body butter into an airtight container. Ensure it's fully cooled before sealing.
