Ingredients:
3 ounces unrefined, light colored, smooth shea butter
1 ounces virgin coconut oil
1 ounces jasmine or orange blossom floral was
2-4 drops rose otto or neroli blossom essential oil (optional)
1/2 teaspoon Vitamin E

Blending Procedure:

1. Begin by creaming the Shea Butter at a medium-high speed in an electric mixer until a soft texture is formed -- like softened cooking butter. It's best to use an automatic mixer instead of a hand held one so you can proceed to Step 2 while the mixer is processing the shea butter. Do not melt the shea butter in a double boiler or microwave or the recipe will not turn out as it should.
   
   
2. While the shea butter is processing, warm the coconut oil and floral wax over very low heat, or in a double boiler, until the wax is just melted. DO NOT OVERHEAT! I find that it is actually best to turn off the heat under the oil/wax mixture when the wax is not quite completely melted, and then let it continue to fully melt without the heat on.
   
   
3. Turn off themixer. While the shea butter is still warm, slowly pour the oil/wax mixture into the whipped shea butter. Add drops of essential oil. Turn mixer onto medium-high again. Continue mixing until just creamy. Place into containers of choice. Let cool. Cover.
   
   
4. To use, rub onto freshly showered skin immediately after towel drying. Can also be applied to dry skin any time of the day.
