Taking The Stress Out Of Gluten-Free Grain-Free & Dairy-Free Living







Nourish & Calm Body Butter
*This recipe makes about 8 cups and will fill four 16 oz mason jars.
2 Cups of Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil (Costco)
2 Cups of Organic Shea Butter (Amazon)
1 Cup of Organic Cocoa Butter (Amazon)
2 Tablespoons of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Trader Joe’s)
30 Drops of Ylang Ylang
6 Drops of Lavender
6 Drops of Frankincense
6 Drops of Stress Away
10 Drops of Joy
In a medium saucepan melt the coconut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter on medium low. Pour into a bowl and place somewhere cool until it is almost completely solidified. This will take a couple of hours. Don’t let it solidify too much though so keep checking!
Scrape the oils into a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and whip until smooth. Add the olive oil one Tablespoon at a time until fully incorporated. Add the essential oil drops and whip until light and fluffy.
Spoon into decorated jars.
I can’t use lotion. The dogs are constantly licking my arms and legs. I don’t use anything for fear of causing them harm.

Yes, I have to stay away from the dogs when I first put the lotion on. They love it! Essential oils when used in small amounts are harmless to animals. In fact, I was able to heal a large growth on Romeo’s lower leg with lavender & frankincense. It was miraculous!
