Step 1

Using a double boiler, melt 4 oz beeswax, 3 oz lard, 3 oz tucuma butter, 2.5 oz avocado oil, 2 oz shea butter, and 2 oz marula oil. As the ingredients are melting, stir periodically.

Step 2

Remove the mixture from the heat. Add 5 grams vitamin E oil and 5 grams of the fragrance oil. Stir.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into the twist tubes and allow to set up undisturbed.

Step 4

Once they have set up, place a lid on each tube.

To Use

Massage a small amount onto clean, dry skin anywhere that needs a little extra love, then let the rich butters and oils melt in for soft, nourished skin with a healthy glow.
