ONE: In a large container, combine the Fractionated Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil and Castor Oil.
TWO: In a separate heat safe container, melt the Shea Butter, Cera Bellina Wax and Deodorized Cocoa Butter. Be sure to use an appropriate size container because if there is too much head space, you risk exploding the container in the microwave. Place in the microwave and heat on 30 second bursts until the mixture is liquid.
THREE: Add wax mixture to Fractionated Coconut Oil mixture and stir.
Note: If the wax mixture solidifies as shown below, microwave the container on 30 second bursts until the mixture is fully melted and combined.

Your heel butter is ready to use once it is solid! Store in a dry cool place to prevent it from melting.
