Description

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup shea butter
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup olive or almond oil
• 10-15 drops your favorite essential oil, if you need it to smell pretty (I like orange, or sandalwood for something a little more manly)

Directions

• Combine all the ingredients in a double boiler or small saucepan over medium heat.
• Heat until everything is melted.
• Pour into another bowl and let cool for a good hour (in the fridge if youre in a hurry), or until the oils are just starting to consider re-solidifying (this is important - you wont be able to whip it up if theyre still too liquid).
• When the oil mixture is starting to solidify around the edges, start beating with a hand mixer. Continue for a few more minutes, or until it looks kinda like whipped cream, forming stiff peaks.
• Transfer to a jar or other storage. Should keep for a long while.
