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!

A Note On Decarboxylation
Although raw cannabinoids have their own valuable medicinal qualities, without decarbing the flower or plant material for the infusion, cannabinoids (like THCA, and CBDA) will likely remain in their inactive acid states.
When infusing recipes, you may want to take the extra step of decarboxylation first, especially if you want the activated form of CBD or (the psychoactive effects) of your THC meds to be present.
If you are not familiar with this process, here are links for how to decarboxylate your Hemp Flower or Cannabis Flower.
Note: You can skip the decarboxylation process if you only want the raw cannabinoid benefits without THC/CBD activation.

- Add desired essential oils if you like, stir, and set in the refrigerator to cool.
- Once chilled, remove from refrigerator and mix with a hand mixer (on low and then slowly turn the speed up higher) until the lotion becomes light and fluffy (3–5 minutes).
