-glass container for storage

Essential Oils your skin will love:

Directions:
Bring shea butter to room temperature. Then, in a mixing bowl mash the butter with a fork; add coconut oil and continue mashing. Then, with the electric mixer, mix on HIGH for about 5 min.

Add 10-20 drops of your desired essential oil and mix for a few additional minutes to fully blend. Store whipped body butter in a clean container (we love mason jars) and close with a lid. Keep in a cool, dry and dark place. Room temperature is fine. Your body will thank you!
