Submitted by: Marion Summerville

Ingredients:
.9 oz coco butter (unrefined ok)
.9 oz shea butter
0.1 oz jojoba oil
1 ml FO (I use Sweetcakes Special Edition Vanilla)

Directions
(this recipe makes one 2oz stick; I usually make 5 at a time) Melt coco & shea butters (I use the microwave), stir in jojoba and when completely blended, stir in FO (optional, but a nice touch). Pour into 2oz size push-up-style lotion bar containers (pour up to the tippy-top; they shrink as they cool), and pop in the freezer for about 10 mins. Remove (it's OK if they're a touch frozen), label, and use. According to my very pregnant sister-in-law, this is brilliant for keeping stretch marks at bay. While it's solid in the container, it melts immediately on contact with skin (just like dairy butter would). Belly butter MUST be stored at about room temperature (70 F) or it will melt in the tubes and make a big mess. Can be stored in the fridge during the summer."
