Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place shea butter in the top of a double boiler. You can also place it in a regular saucepan, but you'll want to be especially careful not to burn the shea butter.
  • Melt the shea butter over low heat. Remove from heat when melted.
  • Add the arrowroot (if using) to the carrier oil in a small bowl. Mix well.
  • Add the carrier oil mixture to the shea butter. Whip the shea butter and oils with a hand or stand mixer. Stop when you have your desired consistency. This should take at least several minutes.
  • Add essential oil before distributing the homemade shea butter lotion to containers. Enjoy!
