Combine the oils and butters in a medium glass bowl or double boiler. Melt them together, stirring every few minutes until combined.
When the oils have melted completely, add the essential oils and stir well.
Let the mixture cool until just barely solidified—I give it a stir every 10 minutes or so to check the consistency. Place in the fridge to speed this up.
Then beat with a mixer until the butter turns creamy and frothy. This could take 5–10 minutes.
Transfer to a clean, lidded container.
Apply several times a day to soothe chapped skin.
Use within 6 months.
