About Us
If you're like me, you're probably wondering how I ended up selling body butters. Especially since my first career was in IT for 30 years.
Well, this all started back in November 2018 when I was sitting in a coworker's office talking about dry and cracked feet. I went home that night and decided to do something with the shea butter, vitamin E oil, beeswax, and coconut oil I had sitting around. Melted them all together, and filled up half cup mason jars and let it cool. I affectionately named it "the decrustifier" because it made my feet wonderfully smooth and soft. After confirming that it worked (that took 3 days) I shared it with my coworker. She used it and loved it. She suggested that I sell these in my retirement that was fast approaching. I gave her another jar for her birthday and she was so happy she actually jumped up and down. That told me I was on to something.
For Christmas 2019, I gave my sister coca butter body butter (2 x 8oz) and shea butter body butter (2 x 4oz). She opened it at 12:05am on Christmas day. We all went to bed and later that day we had the following conversation:
- sister: How'd you make your body butter?
- me: I just mixed the butter with sweet almond oil and beeswax
- sister: I make it as well but I'd never think to add beeswax. Mine is soft in the summer time but not so much in the winter time. You should sell these now that you're retired.
Around that same time I started researching what I'd need if I actually wanted to start the business. I spoke to my friends about my formula and learned that beeswax might clog pores (I've since learned that it does not). So I removed that from my recipe. Also learned that heating the shea, mango, and cocoa butters changes them ever so slightly so I took that out of the recipe too.

Essential Oils
Essential oils that can be mixed-in to any body butter. There are 16 essential oils and 18 mixtures available for purchase. They are priced at $1, $2, $3, and $4 per 24 drops. No more than 24 drops recommended for a small jar of body butter, No more than 48 recommended for a large jar of body butter. Couple things about essential oils:
- For external use only. Which means that any butter with added essential oil should not be placed on lips
