Ingredients:
– 1/4 cup raw cocoa butter
– 1/4 cup shea butter
– 2 tablespoons coconut oil
– 2 tablespoons beeswax pellets
– 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil (optional)

Instructions:
1. In a double boiler, melt the cocoa butter, shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax pellets over low heat, stirring occasionally until fully melted.
2. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
3. Add the essential oil if desired and stir well to combine.

Benefits:
– The cocoa butter and shea butter provide intense hydration to dry, chapped hands.
