Finally, the recipe for the homemade shea butter I’ve been using for two weeks now! It is seriously PHENOMENAL. My skin has never been softer.

If you can’t find shea butter in your area, I suggest purchasing online. It’s important to make sure that the shea butter is as ‘pure’ as possible. Here’s a link to the one that I used for this recipe.

Homemade Shea Body Butter

• 1 cup shea butter
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup almond oil

1. Melt shea butter and coconut oil in the top of a double boiler. Remove from heat and let cool for 30 minutes. You may have to chill the mixture for this step. See above.

2. Stir in almond oil and essential oils of your choosing.*

3. Wait until oils start to partially solidify then whip until a butter-like consistency is achieved. This should only take a few minutes. 

4. Place in clean, glass jar and enjoy! A little goes a long way.
