Not my oil blend, but willing to try it!

Nourishing Winter Hand Cream

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Shea butter
1/4 cup oil of choice (I used jojoba oil here but refined coconut oil works great as well as fractionated coconut oil, lavender infused oil or calendula oil)
3 drops Vitamin E oil
20 drops Lavender essential oil
10 drops Eucalyptus essential oil
8 drops Rosemary essential oil

**This recipe makes 5 oz at 1% dilution.
Shelf life is 1 year.

Instructions:
-Melt Shea butter and coconut oil in double boiler or by using a Pyrex glass on side of pot of boiling water.
**Melt slowly or shea butter will become grainy. Do not boil.
-Once almost liquified add Vitamin E oil and stir in.
-Remove from heat and let cool slightly before adding essential oils. Stir in essential oils and place in refrigerator until solid. -Remove and let rest until slightly room temperature to make it easier to work with.
-Whip up with mixer until consistency you desire.
