Shea Butter with Emu Oil 70% Unrefined Shea
Butter 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.
