Description

By using essential oils combined with a few other amazing ingredients, you can make your own DIY cuticle butter that moisturizes and softens the cuticles.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ tablespoons organic raw shea butter
  • ½ teaspoon organic coconut oil
  • 3 drops vitamin E oil
  • 3 drops lemon essential oil
  • 8 drops lavender essential oil
  • 3 drops of myrrh essential oil
  • 3 drops tea tree essential oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Fill about one-third of a small saucepan with water. Bring the water to a boil.
  2. Combine the shea butter, beeswax and coconut oil into a mason jar or heat-safe glass container. Place the jar in the pan.
  3. Blend ingredients together with a spoon.
  4. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

To use, use a small wooden stick or a spoon and place a small amount on your palm to help soften the balm. Take a finger and massage a small amount of the cream onto and around the cuticle area. Allow it to sit for 10–15 minutes.
