1/2 cup shea butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup almond oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon vitamin E oil

Place shea butter and coconut oil in a heat proof container, such as a pyrex measuring cup to melt either in a microwave or over a double boiler. If using the microwave use 30 second intervals, stirring between each. Remove from heat and add almond oil and vitamin E oil. You can either use vitamin E capsules punctured with a pin or you can buy vitamin E oil in a bottle in the vitamin section at the store. Next place your pyrex dish with all the melted ingredients into an ice bath and start mixing with a hand mixer on high. As the mixture cools it will start to whip up and look just like whipped butter. This is when youÕll want to add your vanilla extract and continue mixing. Put your body butter in a clean jar and apply to your body whenever needed. This mixture literally melts on your skin like butter.
