Procedure:
1. Disinfect all the tools and containers you will use with 99% (or at least 80%) rubbing alcohol or boil in water
2. Weigh your oils and butter, melt in the microwave or in a water bath
3. Put the mixed oils in the fridge to set- use your finger to test the consistency if the oils are too hardenedit will be very difficult to pour, on the other hand if you stick your finger in thin oils, they are not yet set enough and the butter will not come out properly
4. Beat the mixture of oils and butter with a mixer for about 5-10min, the consistency should be fluffy and firm- the volume will double.
5. Add vitamin E and essential oil and whisk again.
6. Pour the finished butter into the jar and you're done!
Mango butter is full of natural antioxidants and vitamins that revitalize and soften the skin. It absorbs easily into the skin and doesn't leave it greasy. It also helps fight dry skin, helps treat rashes, eczema and dermatitis.
Coconut oil is high in lauric acid, has antibacterial properties, is good for drier or sensitive skin and also for problems with chapped skin or eczema.
Hemp oil is rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids and is a source of vitamin E. It helps prevent moisture loss and is also effective in fighting wrinkles.
shea butter starts to melt at temperatures above 24℃, this is when it should be stored in the fridge.
For better absorption, apply the butter on damp skin.
