Heat the ingredients, while stirring, until they melt. Continue to stir until well blended.

Step 3

Remove from heat and allow to cool. Add the essential oil.

Step 4

Check the consistency. For a thinner, creamier consistency, use a hand mixer (or electric mixer) for one or two minutes.

Step 7

Apply, as needed, to the hands, face and body, avoiding the eyes.
