One of my favorite things to do after I shower (besides checking Instagram for 10 minutes in my towel) is slathering on my homemade body butter. I started making my own body butter about 10 months ago, when I couldn’t find a moisturizing lotion with ingredients I was satisfied with. Many of the store brands that I was using contained ingredients that irritated and dried out my skin. What I love most is that I can control all the things that go into the body butter I make at home, and the best thing is that it works!  I love making it for friends and family members and they report back the benefits they experience with using Queen Bee's Body. 

Queen Bee Body Butter products are made with pure shea butter from Ghana, Mango butter, Cocoa butter and are infused with quality essential oils. It will soften those tough dry spots like the knees, elbows, and feet it is highly moisturizing and will nourish your skin. All orders of Queen Bee Body Butter are handcrafted and made at the time they are ordered and can be shipped within 24 to 48 hours upon receipt of your order. Customer favorites are Mango Tango Butter, Tantalizing Tangerine, and CocoVanilla Surprise.
