Notes
- To use: Use as a normal body butter or lotion. This is especially helpful at night to help you relax into sleep.
- Because this has coconut oil in it, it will melt at temps above 72°F or so. In this case, storing it in the fridge is best. Allow to come to room temp for use.
- If you do find it has melted, simply repeat the steps to whip it back up.
