Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup cocoa butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup shea butter
- 40 drops essential oil
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
Instructions
- Measure out the shea butter, cocoa butter, olive oil and coconut oil into a glass or heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan of boiling water.
- Stir occasionally until everything has melted together.
- Remove from the heat and put into the freezer until cloudy and nearly set. You want to be able to press a finger into the mixture and it leave a dent. If you over freeze it, just leave it on the counter at room temperature to soften a little.
- Whisk with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This might take a little while and you will want to scrape the edges of the bowl down halfway through.
- When it is light and smooth and fluffy, mix through the cornstarch and add your essential oils.
- Decant into glass pots or jars with lids.
