- 1/3 cup shea butter
- 1/3 cup cocoa butter
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 30-50 drops essential oil(s) of choice
- Place shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil and olive oil in a double boiler and heat until melted together (the mixture will look like a giant bowl of olive oil).
- Remove from heat and stir in your essential oils if using (the more drops, the stronger the scent).
- Chill in the refrigerator for about 90 minutes or until the edges begin to harden just slightly.
- Whip the mixture using a stand or hand mixture for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture is light, fluffy and resembles buttercream frosting.
- Scoop into a wide-mouthed glass jar and chill for another 30 minutes to set.
- Store at room temperature and use whenever you need to give your skin some love.
