Lavender, Melaleuca, and Cannabis Infused Body Butter

Lavender, Melaleuca, and Cannabis Infused Body Butter

Although a good water-drinking habit is the first thing I’d recommend to address dryness, this supersoft, skin-pampering, infused body butter recipe can help soothe dry or mildly irritated skin.

It’s nice to enjoy moisturized, healthier skin, but sometimes we need a little help getting there. The butter and oils used in this recipe are sure to soothe your skin and leave it feeling soft.

The best part is, you can make it as a simple recipe, or customize your infused body butter with any essential oils of your choice.

For this recipe, we’ll use infused coconut oil, along with lavender and tea tree essential oils for extra benefits.

Before You Begin

Before you begin: If you are infusing your recipe, you’ll need to decide if you want to use hemp flower for more CBD effects or cannabis flower for more THC effects during decarboxylation.

No worries, as in all infused recipes, you can use either of them or a bit of both if it suits you!
