Hemp Seed Butter (Or Emu Butter)
- 178 g shea nut butter (Avocado, Mango could be used in exchange)
- 20 g hemp seed oil (or Emu Oil ~ any other carrier oil could be used, but you would not get the same results)
- 2 g vitamin E
- Before starting, make sure your work station is as clean as possible.
- Have clean utensils and pots -- the tubes you are putting your product in have been cleaned.
- You want to keep your finished product to stay as sterile as possible.
- Carrier and exotic oils have a shelf life -- smell them to make sure they are still fresh.
- Measure out the ingredients into a small measuring cup.
- Heat in the microwave for 45 seconds until pliable but not fully melted.
- Whip the butter.
- together vigorously until creamy and package in small jars.
- Note: This product will have a slightly grainy feel because of the Shea Nut Butter.
- This will melt with the heat of the skin.
- Vitamin E had wonderful, healing properties on it's own, but it also works as a preservative.
- Mark your jars the date made and use up within 2 years.
- A little goes a long way with this cream, so it is possible to cut the recipe in half, share with a friend or give away as gifts.
- Your friends would love you.
- Caution: These butters do not have the heavy preservatives that the commercial products have.
- With any home product that is "applied" to the skin, keep in mind about how clean your skin is and who is going to use it.
- Beware that if you pass your lotion around you could possible contaminate your stick.
- The cleaner the enviroment it is going to be used in the longer the shelf life it is going to have.
- If you are going to share your lotion, use a knife to "skim" some lotion off.
- Just some "food for thought"!
