Let’s make a summertime tropical melting body butter in less than 10 minutes!

What’s a melting body butter? That sounds cool!

It’s a rich, thick, and luxurious body butter that melts on contact with your skin, creating the softest, silkiest, smoothest, most elegant, non-greasy experience with a quick break or sploosh of water to make us feel more hydrated.

This is the first of a three part series in which I’m trying something new — each part will increase in complexity, starting with the basics and ending up with a complete post of all the cosmetic chemistry so you can learn how to customize your formulas for your skin and hair.

I’m dying to hear what you think about the new format!
