I just stumbled upon a great recipe:

 

Non-Petroleum Shea Jelly

 

1 ounce Natural Shea Butter

4 ounces Grape seed oil

1/2 ounce grated beeswax

12 drops grapefruit seed extract

 

(most ingredients can be found at natural grocery store, such as Sun Harvest)

 

1.  In a double boiler over simmering water and medium heat, combine the grape see oil and beeswax, heat gently until the wax has melted, then add your shea butter.  Don't overheat 120 degree is sufficient.

 

2.  Remove mixture from the heat and add the grapefruit seed extract.

 

3.  Cool over ice water and stir with a spoon till it thickens in consistency.

 

Store in a glass jar with screw-top. (I think a plastic one with screw top will work fine too).  This jelly should keep for a year.

 

Enjoy!!
