This scrub butter will prepare your skin for that perfect tan, it can also be used after tanning - GENTLY and as long as you haven't fried your skin.
I suggest this butter be whipped but it can be just mixed or layered.
If you are whipping: Add the scrub to the oil and reserve.
Melt the butters, put them in the fridge until they start solidifying, then start whipping, if the butter is still too soft put back in the fridge, repeat until the butter is firm enough. Once the butter is whipping well add the oil/scrub mix slowly.
Murumuru Butter - 2 Parts
Cupuaçu Butter - 2 Parts
Bacuri Butter - 1 Part
Tucuma OR Buriti Oil - 1 Part
Murumuru Bio-Scrub - 1 Part - you may need to sieve it, you can also grind it again in a small coffee grinder, I bought a small one off eBay for 8 bucks.
I use this scrub on clean damp skin, after scrubbing I gently remove the powder using a wet towel or rinse with warm water, no soap is needed, Bacuri, Tucuma and Buriti will stain fabric, so the perfect time to do this scrub is if you can put a sarong around your body and let the butters do its magic, if you cant, then wash well.

This scrub butter may help blemish prone skin with murumuru and its high levels of lauric acid, guava oil known for its astringent properties and andiroba known for antimicrobial properties.
Super easy to make, melt all ingredients, minus the scrub,in a double boiler, pop in the fridge for a little bit, when the butter is starting to solidify add the the scrub and start folding into the butter, if the butter gets too soft put it back in the fridge for a little bit longer and mix/fold again.
*Other ways to mix the scrub into the butter are: whipping the butter or if you want to just make a melt and pour butter you can layer the scrub, pour some butter/oil blend, pop into the fridge until solid, add a second layer and some scrub, the scrub will settle on top of the first, solid now, layer. Keep repeating until your butter and scrub are done.
Ingredients:
Murumuru Butter - 5 Parts
Andiroba Oil + Guava Oil - 1 Part (1/2 parts of each, you can use equal parts, or use more of the oil you like better).
Andiroba Bio-Scrub - 1/2 Part - you may need to sieve it, you can also grind it again in a small coffee grinder, I bought a small one off eBay for 8 bucks.
I use this scrub on clean damp skin, after scrubbing I gently remove the powder using a wet towel and rinse with warm water, no soap is needed, pat dry with a clean towel. Proceed with your habitual skin care routine, I also like scrubbing BEFORE my clay masks.

This butter will help keep your lips and mouth area moisturized and if you massage well it will stimulate collagen production in the area and help with the fine lines.
I suggest this butter to be a layered melt and pour so you can use more or less scrub choosing the layers, but you can also mix or whip.
This butter is super easy to make, melt the butters then add the oils, let them heat together for a little bit, to avoid future separation, separate the amount of scrub by the number of layers you want, pour some butter/oil blend into a jar or tin, pop into the fridge until solid, add a second layer and some scrub, the scrub will settle on top of the first, solid now, layer. Keep repeating until your butter and scrub are done.

This bar is perfect for a quick but efficient mini foot spa. The bottom side where all the quartz powder has settled will give your feet a good scrub and the buttery top side will keep your feet and cuticles moisturized.
For this bar you will need three butters, you can use just one oil if you want to simplify the recipe, keep Andiroba if you have any skin issues on your feet, or only Brazil Nut if you want a lighter bar, one or two oils keep it at 1 part. I use the system of "parts" in my recipes because it is easily converted to different systems. So if you do ounces, read "parts" as "ounces", it goes the same to metric systems.
You will need a mold with a flat bottom, it can be a silicone soap mold, even a milk carton cut sideways. The quartz is added after the mix is poured into the mold, if you are using a single mold (and cutting afterwards) make sure you pour the quartz evenly, if you are using individual single molds you need to separate the quartz equally for each mold. You can also add the quartz in two layers, pour a little of the mix, pop the mold in the fridge for a little bit, the pour the rest of the mix and add the rest of the quartz, the powder will settle to the bottom, then settle again on top of the first solid layer making two scrubbing layers which will make your bar very "scrubby" for a longer time.
Cupuaçu Butter - 2 Parts
Murumuru Butter - 2 Parts
Ucuuba Butter - 1 Part
Brazil Nut + Andiroba Oils - 1 Part
Beeswax - 1/2 Part or for vegan Candelilla - 1/2 Part
Quartz Powder Body - 1 or 2 Parts depending on how "scrubby" you want it.
Melt the wax in a double boiler, add the butters and then the oils, to avoid separation let the oils heat for a bit. Pour mix into mold or molds te add the quartz in one single layer or two.
I love using this bar after the shower, I use on my feet and lower legs, then I remove the quartz with a towel or a rag and my feet are scrubbed and moisturized. You can also apply more of the smooth side, put socks on and go to bed.
Be careful moisturized feet can be slippery.
Remember these recipes are for personal use, if you are making them to sell or in larger amounts you may need to add preservatives. These will look cuter made in individual molds as cutting the bars get them a bit frayed at the ends.

“Crepey skin” refers to skin that looks thin, wrinkled, and similar in appearance to crepe paper. Causes may include: aging, UV radiation, excessive weight loss, lack of moisture, hormonal changes, pollution, stress, cigarette smoking and more. Basically crepey skin is almost unavoidable but while it can't be entirely reversed, there are steps you can take to make your skin firmer and smoother.
Using great quality butters and oils will help - "as you age, your skin produces less oil than it did when you were younger. These oils create an important lipid barrier that protects your skin and helps seal in moisture". Massaging them onto your skin will strengthen muscle memory, spur collagen production and boost blood circulation, all of which will help with crepey skin.
Exfoliation with a gentle scrub and good oil/butter will help to get rid of excess dead skin and clay masks may help detoxify and firm the brand new skin.
All of my products can help but these are products are the best for helping with this issue.
For oils and butters: The oils can be used alone but blending them with butters makes it easier to massage on skin. The butters can also be used on their own, but cupuacu may be a little too firm and bacuri a little too messy. So blends it is the way to go for body skin care. The best time to use a butter blend is after a shower on damp skin, give it a good massage. If I have time to just wrap a sarong around my body I will apply all over my body but if you have to go, apply at least on the problem areas.
For Masks: mix the clay with water or any secret fantastic tea you know about, make it a bit thicker for face and neck and thinner for body, apply on skin - I love my little wooden spatulas for it - leave it on for 15-30 minutes and rinse with warm water, no need for soap, tap skin dry with a clean towel and apply an oil or your butter blend after a few minutes on skin still damp.
For a Scrub: since crepey skin if thin I recommend my gentle Face Quartz Scrub - a fantastic scrub can be made adding the quartz to bacuri and buriti, since these products can be difficult to use on their own (bacuri stains clothing and buriti may stain light skin), a scrub that will be washed or wiped off is the perfect time to use them alone.
Whipped Butter 1 - this recipe should come out very light and easy to use, great for all skin types. This recipe will make your skin look healthier right away withoug causing too much of a mess.
Cupuaçu - 4 parts
Bacuri - 1 part
Acai, Andiroba - 1 part (1/2 part each)
Whipped Butter 2 - This recipe will come out a bit darker and it will bring a glow to your skin, great for all skin types but may be messy as bacuri transfers to clothing.
Cupuaçu - 3 parts
Bacuri - 2 part
Acai, Andiroba, Buriti - 1 part (1/3 parts each)
Melt and Pour - This will be a darker and messier blend but it will work as a tinted moisturizer, giving you a beautiful tanned glow. It may be too much for very pale skin and it will transfer to clothing. But you can also apply just to the areas that need more attention or even on legs to go out in short summer clothing.
Growing up in Brazil, even in the big city, we did not have fancy ChapSticks, we had lipstick shaped cocoa butter - manteiga de cacau - and it worked great, so the other day, it was kinda dry in Florida and my lips were in need of some serious loving, I thought about our old cocoa butter ways and decided to add scrubbing to it.
I will leave modesty aside and say it was a genius idea and these bars work wonders! If you want to play it a little rough use scrubbing side, if you just want loving use the all butter side.
I did two layers of scrub so all the powder doesn't concentrate on one end which I think would become too crumbly, you can make smaller bars with just one scrubbing end.
Since it was a spur of the moment thing I used what I had around - an ice tray with a silicone bottom. Any small mold with a flat bottom will work, I think the tiny squares would look adorable, no flowers or shapes.
Ingredients: Cocoa butter - 2 oz. Cupuaçu butter - 1/2 oz.(if you live in a cold place you can add a 3/4 oz.) Andiroba oil - 1/4 oz. Fine quartz powder - 1 oz.
How to: Melt butters and oil, for two layers of scrub, fill little molds up to half and add a little powder, the quartz being heavy will drop to the bottom, put in freezer until solid then add rest of butter/oil mix, then more powder. For just one layer of scrub fill the mold almost up to the top then add the quartz just once. Remember not to make a too thick layer of quartz.
You can mix a few drops of a good EO and sweeteners if you want to go fancy. For full summer heat it may need a little wax.
This three ingredient little butter bar is awesome for Summer time, just keep them in the fridge and use one after outdoor time.
You just need to melt the wax in a double boiler, add the butter and then the oil - let them get hot together for better blending - pour the mix into your mold, wait until it solidifies and that is it! For little bars you can use little paper cups or these wax warmer liners, you can also make one big bar.
This three ingredient butter can be used for hair and skin, it is amazing for before and after tanning.
You just need to melt the butters in a double boiler and add the oil - if you are whipping it you can add the oil as the butters are cold and ready to whip, for a melt and pour you will need to add the oil into the hot butters - you can also use more oil.
