Weigh out vitamin E and the essential oils together.
Melt the butters, powders and oils in a double boiler until melted, mixing well to ensure there are no lumps.
Take off the heat and using the thermometer add in the essential oils and vitamin E when the mixture is below 45 degrees. Mix well.
Pour into the tube and let it set for a couple of hours before popping the top on.
