Body Butter

You simply melt the shea butter and coconut oil together in a double boiler.  Add in the almond oil, or you an use Jojoba oil or olive oil.  Add essential oil of your choosing like lavendar or whatever you want (maybe orange).  Then, let solidify.  Then, whip or beat it with a mix and put into jars.

1 cup shea butter
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup almond oil (you can substitute olive oil, jojoba oil, any organic, liquid oil that is healthy.)
