Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Shea butter
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp jojoba oil
- 1 tbsp vitamin E oil
- 20 drops lavender oil
- 20 drops Frankincense oil
Directions:
- In a double boiler, melt the Shea butter and coconut oil over low heat.
- Once melted remove from heat.
- Stir in jojoba oil, vitamin E oil, and the essential oils.
- Let the mixture cool for a while, about an hour or until the top starts to set.
- Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to whip the butter on high until it thickens into a butter-like consistency.
- The recipe should yield about three 2 ounce jars
- Apply to nail bed every night before bed, or at least 2-3 times a week.
- The butter will be a little oily at first, but will seep in very fast and by morning, your cuticles should be nice and softened! Use an orange stick to push them back or simply use a nail brush to scrub cuticles.
