shea butter + jojoba oil = darn good
I've been messing around with homemade after shave balms/conditioners. Take some unrefined shea butter -melt it slowly -then add some jojoba oil and essential oils of you liking --let it cool or force cool it in ice bath and you've got yourself something good. I think about 50% butter , 40% jojoba oil and the rest essential oil is about right --- but fix it to your liking. Maybe start out with as little essential oil as possible. You can whip it as it cools to get a light ,fluffy concoction. I guess you can add other complementary butters and oils like aloe, hazelnut, avocado, and the like ---do a little research though --some of these oils go a long way.
Take care with the essential oils --- some can be harmfull and folks react differently to different oils. Good luck.
