DIY Floral-Infused Body Butter for Glowing Skin

There’s something magical about capturing the essence of your garden and turning it into skincare. This dreamy, whipped body butter is infused with flowers like lilac, peony, rose, and calendula—each bringing their soothing, hydrating, and uplifting properties into your daily ritual. If you love botanical beauty and want to nourish your skin naturally, this one’s for you.

Why Floral-Infused Body Butter?

Infusing oil with dried blooms adds subtle fragrance and powerful skin-loving properties:

• Lilac: Known for its calming and lightly astringent qualities.

• Peony: Softens and soothes sensitive or dry skin.

• Rose: A classic for hydration, balance, and emotional comfort.

• Calendula: A skin-healer and anti-inflammatory hero.

Ingredients:

Floral-Infused Oil:

• carrier oil (like fractionated coconut oil, sweet almond, jojoba, or sunflower oil)

• fill quart size jar with lilac, peony petals, rose petals, and calendula

Body Butter Base:

• 2 cups shea butter

• 2 cups of your infused floral oil

• 6 tablespoons beeswax pellets

• 10–15 drops of essential oils (rose, lavender, or geranium pair beautifully—optional)

How to Make Floral-Infused Oil:

1. Add your dried flowers to a clean glass jar.

2. Pour carrier oil over the flowers to cover.

3. Seal and place the jar in a sunny windowsill for 1–2 weeks, shaking gently each day.

• Or use the quick method: Warm oil and flowers in a double boiler on low heat for 1–2 hours.

4. Strain oil through cheesecloth or a fine strainer into a clean jar. Your floral oil is ready!

How to Make the Body Butter:

1. In a double boiler, melt the shea butter and coconut oil until fully liquid.

2. Remove from heat. Stir in the infused floral oil and vitamin E.

3. Let the mixture cool slightly, then place in the fridge until it begins to solidify (about 1 hour).

4. Once semi-solid, whip with a hand mixer for 3–5 minutes until fluffy.

5. Add essential oils and whip again briefly.

6. Spoon into clean jars and label. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight.

To Use:

Massage a small amount into damp skin after a shower or bath. A little goes a long way! Let the botanical blend work its magic as you inhale the subtle floral scent.

Making your own floral-infused body butter is a beautiful way to connect with nature, slow down, and nourish your skin with intentional care. It’s a garden-to-body ritual that feels both luxurious and grounding.

Marigold Body Butter

July 10, 2024July 18, 2025 / embracingspirit / 2 Comments

Yes, that is right! I am a believer in body butter for my skin and it is the only thing I use! Adding in some flower power just makes it better! Marigold petals are rich in antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and protect cells from free radical damage. They also contain compounds that can help stimulate collagen production in the skin, which can reduce the signs of aging. So why not add some marigold to my already amazing body butter!

I have been collecting marigolds all month before they freeze outside and infusing oil with them. This has been the BEST body butter I have ever made. It’s creamy, soothing and don’t worry, it loses the marigold smell which can be super pungent. What you don’t lose is the powerful benefits.

If you are not a fan of DIY projects I probably will have 10-15 more jars before it’s all gone. Get on the list! Just email me!

Save Me a Jar

Marigold works best with most skin types. It can help with skin prone to dry spells, eczema and psoriasis. It can also help skin that is experiencing inflammation, sun burn, rashes and redness and even more!

Due to its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties, marigold is something that should make its way to everyone’s home apothecary cabinet.

Making Marigold Oil for Body Butter

You’ll need to plan a little ahead for this body butter so be sure to read this first and then get going. The first step is to gather marigold blossoms and let them dry. Pick the blossoms off and set on a cookie sheet or tray to dry outdid, but not directly in the sun. Once they get a little dry, pull the green part off and gently remove the seeds (they look like tiny match sticks). Continue to let them dry for 2-3 days. Grab a pint size mason jar and add the dried flowers and seeds.

You’ll need about one cup of infused oil so be sure to add enough almond or grapeseed oil to completely submerge the flower parts and give enough extra for the body butter. I let mine sit for three days before I made the butter.

Making the Body Butter

•one cup shea butter

•one cup strained marigold oil (use a strainer to catch the flower parts)

• three tablespoon beeswax pellets

• 1/4 cup almond oil

• splash of vegetable glycerin (optional)

• 20-30 drops of your fave essential oils For this butter I added ylang ylang, magnolia and peppermint.

• Put all of the ingredients except the essential oils into a mason jar. Place the jar in a pot of simmering water until it melts. Once it is all melted together, pour into a glass bowl to become hard again. I even put the bowl in fridge for a while. Once it is hard, add the essential oils and whip with a hand mixer until fluffy. Store in glass jars. ENJOY!

And just like that you have marigold infused body butter packed with skin supporting ingredients!
