Ingredients
Ingredients
- 40 ml of shea butter
- 40 ml of filtered calendula macerate
- 5 ml of hibiscus powder
- a pot
- a mixing bowl or Pyrex/ceramic bowl
- a fork
- a cup
- a silicone rubber spatula
Preparation steps
1. Fill the bottom of a pot with about 1 inch of water.
2. Heat the water over medium heat.
3. Place the mixing bowl or Pyrex/ceramic bowl on top of the pot to make a double boiler.
4. Melt the shea butter in the oil macerate.
5. Once melted, remove from heat and pour into a cup (yes, really!). Let set 25-30 minutes in the refrigerator (or until the mixture has started to solidify).
6. Add the hibiscus powder and whip with a fork and a little elbow grease until you get the texture of thick whipped cream.
7. Put back in the fridge for 5 minutes to set.
8. Whip again to incorporate air into the mixture and make the butter fluff up.
9. Holding back from taking a bite (haha!), pour into a 125 ml Mason jar with a spatula.
10. Apply the label “Hibiscus Whipped Exfoliating Butter” and write the date made.
How to use it
This exfoliating butter gently exfoliates and deeply nourishes the skin! It leaves skin soft, soft, soft. On a damp face, apply a small amount of exfoliating butter. Massage the skin in small circular motions. Let sit a few minutes before removing with a hot water washcloth. Use once or twice a week.
