Making body butter

I experimented with making my own multi-purpose cream. I wanted something to use for my hands - which dry out terribly in the winter - face and body. There are many recipes out there of course. I decided on a combination of aloe vera butter, coconut oil, baobab oil and sea blackthorn oil. I bought the baobab oil for other purposes, but I did not use it so I added it to the mix. Sea blackthorn is excellent for the skin.

The process is super simple and it takes no more than 5 min. Put all ingredients in a metal or glass bowl. Add beeswax. The amount depends on how liquid you want your cream to be. My mix was:

• 1/4 cup aloe vera butter
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup baobab oil and sea blackthorn oil 
• 1/4 cup beeswax

Usually vit. E is added as a preservative, but I did not have any. hopefully I will use the cream fast enough so it won't matter.

Melt all the ingredients in a double boiler. Pour in  containers. Let cool down. That's all folks. Is that easy!
