    List of Ingredients




    Makes approx. 8 ozs.

    Ingredients:
    2 ozs cocoa butter (weighed)
    2 ozs natural shea butter
    (weighed)
    2 ozs mango butter (weighed)
    1 teaspoon wheat germ oil
    3 teaspoons apricot kernel oil
    1 teaspoon beeswax pearls
    Mango fragrance oil (or any
    fragrance oil)
    1/4 teaspoon Vit E. (optional, as
    a preservative)

    Recipe



    In a microwave safe measuring cup, add all the ingredients except the fragrance oil. Melt, in 1 minute intervals in high until all the ingredients have liquefied. Continue to heat on low for another 2-3 minutes (do not boil). The continued heating will help prevent the butters from becoming grainy once solid. Remove from microwave and stir. Let set to cool for a few hours and stir again. Before the mixture sets (overnight), add your fragrance oil and stir, even whip, to incorporate the scent. Spoon into jars or tins and label.

    Note: This is a firmer body butter. The consistency can be adjusted by adding or subtracting the amount of beeswax. Also, the shea and mango butter can be added to.
