Fragrance with care (emu oil is transdermal)

Weigh shea butter in a plastic bowl and place in the microwave and heat until soft, not a liquid, do this in 30 second intervals. When this is completed, place your shea butter and oils in your mixing bowl. I have found that using a whisk type mixer produces the best results. Start on low to incorporate all your butters & oils together. Once that is done, you can then turn your mixer on high and let it whip. Once it reaches the look of whipped egg whites. Stop your mixer and add your fragrance, use caution doing this, the emu oil is transdermal and will bring which ever fragrance you use into your skin. I suggest using skin safe and healing type essential oils only, lavender and patchouli are my favorites. Mix fragrance in by hand for a minute, then turn your mixer on high and whip it up real good to mix in the fragrance. I always give this a shelf life of 2 - 3 months. Contributed by Mary - Leonard, MI
