Healing butter?

[KMommy]

I've been reading the post concerning eczema and was wondering if I could create something that had the consistency of butter and include calendula, emu oil and maybe a few more oils that are good for the skin like vit. E. Is there any specific butter that would be more suited for this purpose - shea, mango, coco butter? If anyone has a recipe or suggestions for the amounts to use I would great appreciate it if you would post.

Unrefined shea butter would be great.

Now, remember, I'm still in the researching stage, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt, but here are the butters that I've read have the best healing properties:

unrefined shea (without peer, I would highly recommend it)

refined shea

avocado

hempseed

Those are the best ones I can recommend right now, MMS has them all for a very reasonable price.

Thanks everyone!

annareeb,

If you don't mind me asking...do you have a recipe? I am not sure what percentage of oils to use per amount of butter. I don't want a very greasy butter.
