When I make a big batch during Winter, I warm it slightly
over a water
bath to soften it, then add up to 50 % liquid oil / s like Shea Oil, Olive Oil, Hazelnut, Macadamia, Rice Bran Oil, etc, or a
combination of different oils — whatever you've got on hand.
However at the end of the
bath he got into a mood - due to a
combination of lack of nap, teeth molars and other potential factors and threw a fit
over letting the water out of the
bath himself.
