Healing Colloidal Shea Butter Moisturizer

Ingredients 

  • 1/4 cup shea butter 
  • 2 teaspoons apricot oil  
  • 1 teaspoon pure vitamin E 
  • 1/4 cup organic rolled oats 
  • 6-8 drops of Frankincense 

 
Directions 

  1. Using a food processor (small bowl attachment), grind oats into a fine powder (2-3 mins), scraping sides of the bowl every 30 seconds.  
  1. In a medium glass mixing bowl carefully sitting over a small/medium saucepan filled halfway with water, (double boiler method) over medium heat, add shea butter, apricot, and vitamin E oils. Stir often until melted, this should take about 5 mins.  
  1. Once melted, slowly add in powdered oats while stirring. Allow the mixture to sit for 2-3 mins to absorb fully.  
  1. Refrigerate bowl for 10 mins. Remove and stir in Frankincense. Refrigerate once more for an additional 10 mins. Scoop product into a jar for use. 
  1. Use anywhere on the body to alleviate dry, irritated, or itchy skin.  
  1. Apply AnnieMak Clean Skincare products to your face after your butter moisturizer for an added skincare boost! 

Note: If your processor is not able to pulverize the oats to a fine powder, the consistency of the salve may be a bit grainy. To fix this, you can use a super-fine mesh strainer to strain warm mixture before refrigerating. 

Enjoy!
