Ingredients:
1 ounce calendula infused extra virgin olive oil (or plain olive oil)
1 ounce shea butter
1 ounce mango butter
1/2 ounce avocado oil
1/4 ounce jojoba oil
1/4 ounce beeswax

Blending Procedure:

1. Melt all ingredients over a low flame in a double boiler until the beeswax is nearly completely melted. Remove from heat.
   
   
2. Stir to melt the rest of the beeswax and to fully incorporate all the ingredients.
   
   
3. Use a handheld mixer to mix the ingredients together at high speed. This will whip up the ingredients, especially the shea and mango butters, and add a bit of air to help promote more of a a whipped texture for the finished product. You can add fragrance and/or essential oil at this time (about 1/2 teaspoon or so should suffice depending on your preference), but I prefer the natural scent of the calendula by itself.
   
   
4. Pour into jars while the mixture is still warm and pourable. Label and enjoy!!
