Creamy Avocado & Kombo Feel Better Butter

Creamy Avocado & Kombo Feel Better Butter is a homemade body butter made by melting Baraka kombo, shea and cocoa butter with beeswax and avocado oil. Baraka's kombo and shea butters are made by hand at the Konjeihi Women's Enterprise Centre in Wa, Ghana. Kombo butter has a deep reddish-brown colour, and a distinctive nutty, earthy aroma. Thanks to its high content of natural acids, it is traditionally used to soothe aching joints and sore muscles.

What is body butter? It's a nutrient-dense cream comprised of natural oils and butters specially formulated to hydrate, protect, and nourish your skin.

What is kombo butter? Kombo Butter used to be relatively unknown, but its traditional use as a massage butter in Ghana is helping it to grow in popularity as a super-butter. It is high in myristoleic acid, and it is traditionally used on aching muscles and joints.

HOW TO MAKE THIS FRESH AND CREAMY FEEL BETTER BUTTER

INGREDIENTS

• 2 oz. of Baraka Kombo Butter
• 1 1/2. of Baraka Shea Butter
• 1/2 oz. of Baraka Cocoa Butter
• 1 oz. of beeswax
• 3 oz. of avocado oil

This makes about 8 oz (240 ml) of Feel Better Butter. You can make it in two 4 oz (120 ml) glass jars, or in four 2 oz (60 ml) glass jars.

DIRECTIONS

1. Create a "double boiler" with a Pyrex measuring cup and a soup pot. Fill the soup pot about ¼ with water, and bring it to a gentle rolling boil. Put the Pyrex in the soup pot with the handle hanging over the side. That way it won't be too hot when it's time to pick it up. (It's really amazing how this works! 
2. Melt your beeswax in the Pyrex.
3. Add your cocoa butter and melt.
4. Add the kombo butter and avocado oil. Stir gently until the kombo is all melted.
5. Add the shea butter and stir gently until it's melted.
6. Remove the Pyrex from heat and turn off the stove.
7. Pour your liquid butter into your jars. Let it cool for at least an hour before using it.
