Last October, I ran a 10-day Soft Skin Challenge, and I was asked for a different recipe without Lanolin. After making my test batches, losing and finding the recipe not twice, but three times, I finally got a chance to get into the blog kitchen to make this exciting recipe with you.
Finished tins of Oh My Butter!
I picked a few ingredients that are noted for aiding skin rejuvenation and repair. This luxurious butter will feel great on your dry, scaly skin without feeling extremely greasy. I quickly used my tester tin, and I was very pleased with my smooth skin.
Application Notes: This is not going to be a creamy and easy-to-apply lotion or cream. This is a solid, stick-like butter that will need a combination of body heat and friction to be applied.
Ready for the recipe? I’m excited to share it with you!

NOTES
I would recommend that you put this butter into a jar or tins. It will be next to impossible to get out of bottles!
I hope you enjoy this recipe and let me know what you think!
I’ve never used some of those odd butters-green tea, avocado or aloe I’m wondering if on my labels I need to add all of those extra ingredients–they had coconut oil, soybean oil, almond oil. Do those butters come with ingredient labels. This sounds like an incredible product–I can’t wait to make it. I just ordered what I didn’t have–which surprisingly was quite a few items. Thanks so much.
Each of these oils does have an INCI name for the addition. If you use the percentages from the SDS and combine it with all the ingredients you can list single entries (such as soybean oil) but if working out the percentages is not your thing then just use the INCI name in order of greatest quantity listed first. I am sure you will love these butters!
You mentioned they needed heat and friction to be applied. Would you recommend using the deodorant push-up containers for this or tins? Is this a softer consistency than a lotion bar or similar?
This could be poured into tubes or push up containers and would work beautifully! It’s a nice lotion bar consistency.
since the High Lycopene Oil is no longer available what can be substituted?
I would look at Seabuckthorn Fruit Oil, Organic Rose Hip Oil, Meadowfoam Oil, or Raspberry Seed Oil.
