Shine Creating Aloe Butter
1.5 cup thick Aloe Vera Gel (Lilly of the Desert)
2 oz. Shea Butter
2 oz. Castor Oil
(optional, and I included it in my mix) 2 teaspoons honey
(this is for shine and humectancy)
(optional, I included in mine) 2 tsps. Glycerine (shine humectancy)
2 oz. Vitamin E
Melt Shea and Castor Oil using the water bath method (heat proof bowl/cup in a pot of boiling water). Stir in honey. Put Aloe Vera Gel, Glycerin, and Vitamin E in a blender/cup. Blend/stir slowly adding shea-castor-honey mixture.
