                  The ingredients in this rich butter are excellent for the hair and also superb to use on the body.
                  Stage 1: (above 75°C)
                  9% Organic Camellia Oil
                  7% Mango Butter
                  4% Argan Oil
                  10% Emulsifying Wax

                  Stage 2: (above 75°C)
                  63% Boiling Spring Water

                  Stage 3: (below 40°C)
                  4% Borage Oil
                  1% Vitamin E
                  1% Preservative 12
                  1% Essential Oils of your choice

                  Total 100%
                  Method:
                  Heat Stage 1 ingredients in a double boiler to above 75°C.
                   
                  Put the Stage 2 ingredients into a larger bowl and swap the bowls in the double boiler so that the stage 2 is being heated.
                   
                  Pour the Stage 1 ingredients into the Stage 2. Keep the heat above 75°C and stir for 5 minutes.
                   
                  After the 5 minutes, transfer the bowl to a pan of cold water to cool down quickly whilst continuing to stir.
                   
                  Add the Stage 3 ingredients when under 40°C. Jar and label.

                  I find it hard to understand how much preservative and essential oil is 1%. Could you tell me how many drops that would be please.

                  Dear Gracie,
                  Thank you for your email, please read the below response from our research and development team;

                  “When used as a hair butter this product is generally left on for a while then washed off. However if your hair is naturally very curly and / dry it may benefit from having some of the butter scrunched in and left on. Very little would be needed at any one time.”

                  Kind Regards

                  Does the high percent of oils and butters not weigh the hair down in this recipe?
