Easy DIY Peppermint foot lotion

   Just made my 2nd batch of foot lotion. I been wanting to make it for a long time. I thought it would be difficult but I sure was wrong! There is a trick to getting the butter to whip though.

   Living in South Florida and all day with sandals makes my feet cracked and dry. I made the first batch a little over 2 weeks ago. So, far I'm loving it. Softens my feet adding peppermint to hydrate, and iy increases circulation in my feet. I add this every night with socks on. This so far has been working great on me...


Peppermint Foot Lotion

1 cup shea butter
1/3 cup coconut oil
4-5 drops peppermint essential oil


1. Melt the shea butter in a saucepan on low heat until liquid then stir in coconut oil.

2. Remove and let it cool. Add your peppermint oil.

3. Once it solidifies whip with a mixer until its butter-like

(Note** Since living in Florida made it hard for me to whip it. What I did was  I put it in the freezer for about 5- 10  minutes once it turned solid. I took it out and scraped down the sides before whipping it.

4. Place in a clean jar!

Thanks for stopping by!
