Ingredients:
1 cup of ultra
refined or natural shea butter
1/2 tsp. lavender essential oil
1/4 tsp. tea tree essential oil
2 tsp. aloe vera gel (clear)
1 tsp. vitamin e oil or tocopherol
Instructions:
Melt shea butter in a small pot on the stove over
low heat.
Once liquefied, remove fromheat and add the remaining ingredients.
Stir to
incorporate. Pour into container. Makes 2 - 4 oz
jars.
**Note: We waited until the mixture was cooled and then whipped it
with a hand beater
making it fluffy. The mixture will remain in the
whipped form even if refrigerated, but will
become firm. Refrigeration not necessary.
Products containing shea butter may become
grainy, to avoid this be sure
to heat shea at least
20 minutes or until temperature reaches 170°
and then cool it quickly in the refrigerator or
freezer.
