Directions

1. Combine coconut oil, olive oil (optional), Baraka Shea Butter and sweet almond oil and melt slowly over a double boiler.
2. Let the blend cool down to room temperature.
3. Squirt in 7 or 8 drops of peppermint essential oil. Since essential oils are extremely volatile, any heat will weaken their scent. Therefore, it’s important to let the other ingredients cool down completely before adding the essential oil.
4. Stir well to dissolve the peppermint oil in the oil blend.
5. Allow the ingredients to solidify completely.
6. Put in a storage container
