Can I save $100 by making my own beard butter with just a few natural ingredients? 

How to cut costs?, If I can make my own #beardbutter, will that save me money? Let's find out.
After trying this #beard Butter out I decided to remove a tablespoon from it and remelt the batch in hot water. I added the same amount that I removed with Shea butter and the texture become less soft and more workable, I also added some more drops of the essential oils.
If you fill up your beard butter in a glas jare, you can always remelt it and add more Shea butter or carrier oils or essential oils if you like.
Here is the final recepie for approx: 250ml (8.5 oz):
1.8 dl (6.09 oz) Shea butter
0.4dl (1.4 oz) Safflower oil
0.4dl (1.4 oz) Argan oil
7-10 drops of cedarwood
4-7 drops of Pine
5 drops of Bergamote
------------------------------------
Melt the shea butter in a double boiler
Add the carrier oils
Add the essetial oils
Fill it up in the glas jare
Let it cool
-----------------------------------
Costs:
Shea butter 50SEK (5.3USD)
Safflower Oil 9.9SEK (1.05USD)
Argan Oil 80SEK (8.5USD)
Essetial oils 11SEK (1.2USD)
Total: 150SEK (15.9 USD)
The Argan oil is the most expensive ingredients, for the next bach I will only use the safflower oil. I also will try to add some bee-vax to the mixture... just to feel the different in the texture.
