Luxurious Jojoba Butter Balm

This is an all oil Buttery Balm, with the addition of Dry Flo or Dri Silc powder, which helps it feel less greasy on the skin. It's great for winter, but if using in summer, store in a cool place like all all non-emulsion formulas or it will melt back to oil if left in a hot car!

Ingredients:

• 100g Mango Butter
• 80g Cocoa Butter
• 50g Organic Shea Butter (or Avocado Butter if it’s your favourite)
• 25g Jojoba Esters, Cream
• 45g Jojoba, Virgin
• 7g your Favourite Essential Oil Blend or Bramble Berry Fragrance, I made mine with White Tea & Ginger **If using Essential Oils do not exceed 2.5% of total weight
• 1 - 2 Tablespoons Dry Flo AF or up to 2 Tablespoons Dri Silc

I use our Lip Jars for small on-the-move pots, and for gifts I use our 100g Wide Neck Tubs.

Method

• Weigh all ingredients except the Jojoba, Dry Flo and Essential Oil and/or Fragrance into a 500ml - 750ml Pyrex Jug (or other microwavable jug)
• Melt on High or Medium High for 1 - 3 minutes - this depends on the power of the microwave. Only heat until the Cocoa Butter is completely melted
• Measure the Jojoba into a small cup or mug and add the Dry Flo AF or Dri Silc and carefully mix until you have a slurry type mixture with no lumps
• Pour this into the Butters mixture and hand stir until well combined
• Now stir intermittently so that the mixture cools down. When you add the cool liquid oil you will see some clouding (setting) in the base of the jug
• Now add Fragrance or Essential Oils and stir well to combine
• I use a hand whisk or one electric beater (balloon type not stick blender) just to give a little lightness to the mixture and then pour into the containers
• Allow to set completely and then label and screw on the lids
