Ingredients

• 1 cup shea butter
• 2 tbsp apricot oil
• 1 cup sea salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger
• ¼ tsp cardamom
• 5 drops cinnamon essential oil
• 5 drops ginger essential oil

Directions

1. Melt the shea butter and apricot oil slowly in a double boiler over low heat.
2. Remove from heat and place in the fridge to cool down quickly. This helps prevent the shea from blooming later.
3. Once solid (but not rock hard), whip with a hand blender or immersion blender until fluffy.
4. Stir in the sea salt until fully combined.
5. Stir in the cinnamon, ginger and cardamom.
6. Add the essential oils and mix well.
7. Scoop into a clean pint mason jar with a lid and label.

To Use

1. Gently massage a small amount over your skin, focusing on rough and dry areas.
2. Rinse clean with warm water.
