Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup shea butter
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
  1. Combine ingredients in a quart mason jar. Place jar inside a heavy saucepan or pot filled with a few inches of water.
  2. Heat water on stovetop, stirring mixture inside jar until it is fully melted.
  3. Remove from heat and pour mixture (Carefully! Jar will be hot!) into the base of a stand mixer or a metal mixing bowl.
  4. Chill in the fridge until it is opaque in color but still soft. (Think, consistency of Crisco.)
  5. Whip the mixture for several minutes with a stand or hand mixer. It should resemble frosting.
  6. Add any essential oils desired (suggested: sandalwood, rosemary, frankincense, or eucalyptus) and whip again.
  7. Ready to use right away! Store in a glass jar.
