- 50g shea butter

The essential oil of ylang ylang can be replaced with that of sweet orange, according to your tastes!

Melt the oil and butter in a water bath and let it rest in the fridge for twenty minutes.
Whip the mixture until stiff adding the other ingredients slowly. Finally add a drop of ylang ylang essential oil!

Excellent moisturizer to be used also as an after-sun on the skin or as a hair mask before sun exposure.
