.5 ounces stearic acid
4.2 ounces distilled water

Instructions:

1. Combine the shea butter, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, emulsifying wax and stearic acid in a large heat proof glass measuring cup with a pour spout. Place the mixture in a hot water bath until the waxes are completely melted. Remove from heat.
2. Place the water in a separate Pyrex cup and warm for about 15 minutes in a hot water bath.
