Yield: 5 ounces

Materials

  • Green tea leaves
  • Coffee
  • Rose petals
  • Jojoba oil
  • 1/4 cup infused oil
  • 2 tbsp shea butter
  • 1/4 cup rendered tallow
  • 1 tbsp beeswax
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
  • 10 drops essential oil optional

Instructions

  • Start by creating an infused oil with green tea leaves, ground coffee, and rose petals. Then strain.
  • Add the infused oil, shea butter, tallow, and beeswax to a double broiler on medium heat until fully melted.
  • Once melted, wait a few minutes for it to cool slightly before adding in the arrowroot powder and stir continuously.
  • Finally, add in your essential oils and stir to combine.
  • Pour into your container.
  • Once it is hard, you can whip it up or leave it as is. Either works.
  • To Use: Rub a small amount of your skin either in the morning or night

Notes

  •  Lavender, frankincense, and geranium are all great oils for skin care, but any essential oils work.
