How to make your own butter:
- Mash one heaped tablespoon of the shea butter until smooth

- Add 6-9 drops of your essential oil of choice (or 3 drops of 3 mixed together) e.g. lavender, neroli, geranium
- Fold well with the spoon
- Decant into a glass jar and leave to cure in a cool dark place for up to a week
Caution: Psoriasis sufferers are advised to patch test before use, as shea butter encourages the regeneration of skin cells. People with psoriasis have an increased production of skin cells resulting in the build-up that is associated with psoriasis.
Allergens: Shea butter contains natural latex, although reactions to Shea butter are quite rare please be aware of possible allergic reaction.
