Shea and Cocoa Butter Intense Hydrating Face Cream
1/4 cup shea butter
1/4 cup cocoa butter

1/4 cup unrefined virgin coconut oil
This recipe not only creates the most hydrating, protective and pampering face cream ever, but it also is extremely fun to make. This recipe keeps for quite some time, so it can make a great DIY gift.
Melt the shea and cocoa butter and coconut oil in a double boiler and remove from heat. Let cool for a half hour. Stir in olive oil and the essential oil of your choice. Chill your ingredients in the fridge until they partially solidify, and then whip with a hand mixer until a creamy consistency is achieved. Package in a glass jar and apply after cleansing and toning.
