Instructions

(For a picture tutorial, go to the other recipe). In a double boiler, melt the shea butter, coconut oil, almond oil and beeswax together. Once it turns to a liquid, let it cool in the fridge for about an hour. Then, spoon into a mixer (like Kitchenaid, or use a hand mixer) and pour in the zinc oxide and vegetable glycerin. Whip for about 5 minutes to get it nice and fluffy, like whipped cream.

Notes

*A note about zinc oxide  – this is the only ingredient that isn’t raw and totally natural. It is mined and then synthetically processed. It is used in cosmetics to thicken creams, create a barrier for the skin, and to make sun screen because it is insoluble in water. It can be optional, but the cream won’t be as thick and creamy without it.
