Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
In a double boiler, melt together the shea butter and coconut oil until completely liquified.
Remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes, then add in the vitamin E oil. Pour the mixture into a glass jar and store in the fridge to cool completely. The resulting mixture should be thick and creamy, but its texture will vary depending on the temperature of the room its stored in. (It will be firm in a cold room, and softer in a warm room.) For best use, apply to wet skin immediately after getting out of the shower, then gently pat yourself dry.
