This is an all oil formulation, so no preservative is required. However, we recommend some Rosemary Oleoresin Extract to lengthen the shelf life.
10g Beeswax or 4g Macadamia Wax
25g Coconut oil
25g Mango Butter
15g Cocoa Butter - grated
50ml Jojoba Oil or Macadamia Oil
20 drops Essential oil blend of your choice (I like 10 drops Orange and 10 drops Lavender)
Method:
- Combine all ingredients except Essential Oils in a pyrex jug or ceramic bowl
- Microwave on Medium/High until just melted
- Allow mixture to cool a little and add Essential Oil blend and combine well.
- Pour into tubs or pots
NB: This makes a wonderful rich full oil butter similar to the consistency of petroleum jelly, but feels much nicer, and totally natural.
Tip: If you wish to apply to your feet at night, use thin cotton socks to avoid making your sheets very greasy. You will wake up with lovely smooth feet next morning!
