List of Ingredients

2 ozs natural shea butter

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.
