Body Butter

This body butter is a silky smooth cream that I just love to use all year round. It leaves the skin feeling nourished and deeply moisturised taking away those dry legs especially when preparing your legs for summer.  Unscented the natural nutty flavour is divine or add your own fragrance to create a scent to wear all day long. It is so easy to make and will last you months as a little goes a long way.
