You’ll need
1
Melt the shea
Gently melt 100g of shea butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Take it off the heat as soon as it turns clear.
2
Add the oils
Stir in 30ml argan oil and 20ml jojoba oil. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, around 20 minutes.
3
Chill until opaque
Place the bowl in the fridge for 15–20 minutes, until the edges turn firm and the centre is soft and cloudy.
4
Whip
Beat with a hand mixer for 5 minutes until pale and fluffy. Add up to 10 drops of lavender oil in the last minute.
5
Jar it
Spoon into clean, dry jars and leave the lids off for an hour before sealing. Store somewhere cool.
A note on safety
Patch test on your inner arm before first use. Homemade anhydrous products should be kept dry; use a clean spatula rather than fingers to help them last.
