Rich Multibase Butter Cream With Cyclomethicone

What You Need

8 oz. multibase (any one will do)
12 oz. hot water
1 oz. melted cocoa butter
1 oz. melted shea butter

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon fragrance oil or essential oil
1 oz. cyclomethicone
1 to 3 drops of liquid soap dye (optional)

5 - 4 oz. white cosmetic jars with lids

Measure out your multibase and place in a medium sized bowl. Heat up in the microwave at medium power for 15 to 30 seconds. Check between intervals to see the base is actually melted. You may need to stir a couple of times to get it completely melted. Next add your hot water, melted cocoa butter and shea butters. Stir gently until completely mixed together. Don't be surprised if it takes a couple of minutes - at first it will likely appear as though it's curdling, but all of a sudden it will take on a wonderful creamy texture as all of the ingredients come together.

Check your temperature to ensure that it is below 140 degrees F. Once it is, it is a good time to add your fragrance, cyclomethicone and liquid soap dyes. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated. Pour your cream into your jars, seal closed until ready to use or give away as gifts. Makes approximately 20 oz. Shelf life - approximately 1 year when stored properly.

Nice scenting choices include: French Vanilla, Sugar Cookie, Orange Valencia and Oatmeal, Milk & Honey.

Note: It is important to wait for the temperature to come down when working with cyclomethicone, fragrances and dyes. These ingredients can have a reduced shelf life or break down quicker at the higher temperatures much quicker than other ingredients.
