Homemade body butter for glowing skin is a beautiful blend of rich oils and shea butter to leave your skin feeling amazing.
Many skin care products we purchase off the shelf are filled with chemicals that would frighten you if you researched them in depth. Parfum and synthetic fragrances which contain phthalates are very common in skin care products. Phthalates, derived from petroleum (yes petrol yuk!) have potential links to birth defects and damage to male reproductive system. Suspected endocrine, liver, kidney, reproductive, developmental, immune and neurotoxicity effects. Wildlife and environmental toxicity also. Found in body lotions, hair spray, nail polish and perfume these awful chemicals are (no question) worth avoiding. Please consider this for the benefits of your health and your families health. Switching to yummy homemade products like this gorgeous homemade body butter for glowing skin is super easy! Have a go you won’t be disappointed. Tahlia xo
