Instructions
In a double boiler, over medium-high heat, place the shea butter, nourishing oil, and beeswax. Bring the water underneath to a boil. The ingredients will melt, stir every few minutes to help the melting process. This process takes about 5-7 minutes.
Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat. If you plan to use an essential oil, add the drops now and stir. Pour the liquid into two traveling tins (my tins hold 1.76oz). Remember, there are two holes in the back of the candy tins, so fill the lotion just to the holes to prevent a huge mess! Store the lotion at room temperature for up to 12 months.
