  • Coconut Oil: Helps to soothe dry skin and is known for its moisturizing properties.
  • Jojoba Oil: Balances oil production and promotes skin hydration without clogging pores.
  • Lavender Essential Oil: Known for its calming effects on the skin and mind, promotes relaxation.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a thicker consistency, increase the amount of shea butter slightly.
  • If you prefer a lighter cream, reduce the shea butter and add more jojoba oil.
  • Customize the scent by using your favorite essential oils in place of lavender.
