Blending Procedure:

1. Gently heat the butters and oil in a double boiler, stirring until the butters have reached 175 degrees. Maintain the temperature for 25 minutes and then remove from the heat.
   
   
2. Add the optional T-50 Vitamin E oil. Although it is an optional ingredient, the use of T-50 Vitamin E oil will extend the shelf life of your natural products. (According to From Nature With Love, while the alpha tocopherol in 50IU/g, 1000IU/g and 1400IU/g Vitamin E oils are wonderful as an in-vitro anti-oxidant, studies show that the gamma tocopherol in the Vitamin E T-50 oil is a better anti-oxidant natural preservative for oils/lipids in cosmetic formulations.)
   
   
3. Pour the mixture into an 8 oz. glass jar and cap a label. To use, simply apply to hands, feet and body as desired.
