Miracle Body Butter
Whipped Copaiba Butter
Never suffer a sunburn again with this miracle body butter! Apply generously to sun exposed skin (with a bit of pure aloe leaf or gel for added benefit) and watch that sunburn never appear or fade by the following day.
I just wanted to make a whipped body butter, but what I stumbled upon was a miracle working, luscious whipped creme skin food that smells like cocoa butter and frankincense and heals sunburns and skin ravaged from chemotherapy.
Copaiba is a resin extracted from the Copaifera species of tree found natively in South America, and has a rich history of use in traditional medicine for its many healing benefits. Its primary active component, beta-caryophyllene, is a compound with the unique ability to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system and gives rise to its many therapeutic benefits including:
Potent anti-inflammatory: Copaiba oil is widely recognized for its ability to reduce inflammation throughout the body. This makes it great for healing and soothing sunburns or massaging into sore muscles and joints.
Natural analgesic: Traditionally used to alleviate pain, the oil can be used to alleviate discomfort from scrapes, bruises, burns and bites.
Antiseptic and antimicrobial: Helps to prevent minor infections in wounds and surgical wounds and promotes faster healing.
Nervous system support: The interaction of the beta-caryophyllene with the body’s CB2 (cannabinoid) receptors produces a calming effect on the body and eases feelings of stress and anxiety.
We combined this supremely healing and resinous oil, similar to frankincense in its benefits but lesser known, with deeply hydrating and skin nutritious shea butter and cacao butter to create a whipped body that melts into your skin, makes you happy, and performs healing miracles.

My mother found significant relief from the Copaiba Body Butter when she was going through chemotherapy. She said the chemo leached all the moisture and goodness from her skin and left it feeling like leather. My Copaiba Body Butter was the only moisturizer that could penetrate and provide much-needed relief.
The more I learned how legitimately helpful and effective these homemade formulas were by sharing with family and friends and using on myself and on my kids, the more I knew I had to share it.
Now, most folks are used to the more watery consistencies of body lotions. While commercial body butters are thicker and more moisturizing than their lotion counterparts, they still have water and therefore, preservatives, stabilizers, emulsifiers. While there are some more natural preservations and emulsifiers to choose from, they really are unnecessary at best from a skin nutrition perspective, and mainly exist to create an easily repeatable, shelf stable formula with a pleasant consistency that is not too oily or greasy.
Our body butter contains ZERO water and is made from 100% plant butters and oils, so it will feel much richer and more decadent than lotions and body butters you may be used to. You’ll find that a little goes a long way, and we recommend applying it directly after bathing for maximum absorption. It might take a couple of weeks to get used to the new consistency, but if you do it, we promise you’ll find it difficult to go back.
