Materials

Instructions

  • In a pot on the lowest heat, gently melt shea butter, almond or castor oil, coconut oil, and beeswax together until everything is mixed well.
  • Remove from heat and place in the fridge for about 20 minutes until it's hardened but still a little soft. Pull out and whisk in honey, and essential oils.
  • Transfer mix to refrigerator or freezer until cool (I put it in the freezer for about 25-30 minutes). It is important to check it and not let it harden to a solid, but just until it firms up enough to whip up.
  • With a hand mixer, blend for a couple of minutes until it whips up to a whipped butter consistency.
  • Store in a glass container. See recipe notes for tips!

Notes

Here is the manuka honey I use! It is great for healing skin and check out this post for other things I use it for!
 
  • I do not refrigerate, but if you live in a hot humid climate, you may need to refrigerate.
  • I don't add any preservatives, but if you want to you can do research and see what you want to add.
  • You can use different essential oils and amounts to your preference.
  • If you like a dryer lotion, you can add around a teaspoon or so of arrowroot powder in before blending.
