Shea nut oil, mango butter and pomegranate seed oil. Whip until fluffy and keep in a cool place.
What You’ll Need
- 1/2 cup shea nut oil
- 1/2 cup mango butter
- 2 TBSP organic pomegranate seed oil
- 1/2 oz Sandalwood Aroma Oil Blend or 50 drops organic sandalwood essential oil for a stronger scent
- 1 tsp non-GMO vitamin E oil
- Double boiler (such as a Pyrex measuring bowl over simmering water) hand-held mixer, containers
Equipment
- double boiler
- hand mixer
Directions
- Place the shea nut oil, mango butter, and pomegranate seed oil in the top of the double boiler.
- Heat over medium, stirring until everything has melted together with no lumps.
- Switch off the heat and stir in the aroma oil or essential oil and the vitamin E oil.
- Chill until it begins to thicken, about 20 to 40 minutes.
- Whip with a hand mixer until it reaches the texture you want (if it is too early and the butter is runny, chill it again and try once more).
- Spoon into containers, or pipe it in from a plastic bag with one corner snipped off.
Notes
Safety: patch test; not for broken skin; use a clean dry spoon; sandalwood is an expensive oil, so the aroma-oil blend is the alternative.
