 Ingredients:

1/4 C. shea butter

2 Tbsp. coconut oil

1 Tbsp. jojoba oil

1 Tbsp. Vitamin E oil (or substitute more jojoba oil)

20 drops Lavender oil

20 drops Tea Tree Oil

Instructions:

Heat all ingredients except for the essential oils and vitamin E over the stove over medium-high heat. You can also use the microwave in a glass container. Once the mixture has melted, stir thoroughly and mix in essential oils and vitamin E oil if using.

Let the mixture cool. It will become more solid as it cools down. You can use it as is or else whip the mixture with a handheld mixer until it becomes fluffy.  Store in a sealed jar and apply liberally to the cuticles and nails before bed every night!
