  • 1 teaspoon Vitamin B5 oil
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
  • 1 silicone mold
  • 1 drop essential oil of your choice (I chose Bay Saint Thomas”>

Step 1. In double boiler melt the SCI, water and coconut oil.

2. Take the mix off the heat and add the Amla Powder, essential oil, and vitamin B5.

3. Spread the mix into the mold, let it cool slowly for about 20 minutes, and put it in the fridge for one hour.
