: necessarily want to add EO's as I don't really need their therapeutic

I mix 30-45% shea butter with 55-70% jojoba (depending on the ambient
temperature) and then add small amounts of essential oils. Leleshwa with lemon
tea tree smells particularly pretty. To mix them, I run hot water over the jar or put
it behind my laptop where the fan blows hot air over it. Then I stick it in the fridge.
