Soothing Shea Butter Cream Recipe

Posted by Pam on January 9th, 2008

 This is a great recipe for making a nice shea butter facial/hand cream.

Ingredients:
1 oz beeswax
1 oz sweet almond oil (or oil of your choice)
0.75 oz shea butter
0.5 oz cocoa butter
add fragrance or EO  if wanted

Melt your beeswax in a double boiler (or pan on top of pan will work). Once the beeswax is melted, just add your cocoa butter, then shea butter and after that is almost melted, add your sweet almond oil (or use jojoba or olive or almond).  Once that is all melted, remove from heat, let cool a bit and then add your essential oil or fragrance oil.

Pour your mixture into a decorative jar or bottle and when cooled, it will make a nice semi-solid cream.

Shea butter is a wonderful anti-aging/anti-wrinkling agent and has some wonderful qualities!
