Lavender Diy Body Lotion
Ingredients
1/2
cup
almond or avocado oil
4
tablespoons
coconut oil
4
tablespoons
beeswax
1
tablespoon
cocoa butter
1
tablespoon
shea butter
20
drops lavender essential oil
Instructions
Prep all the ingredients.
In a small, heat proof jar (or double boiler), combine all ingredients except the essential oil.
Place the jar into a small pot of water at a rolling boil.
Tip: make sure no water gets into the mixture as it will cause the lotions to expire quickly
Heat until everything is fully melted and combined (about 12 minutes).
While the mixture is melting, get out your storage jars.
Once melted, remove the mixture form the heat. Let sit 1-2 minutes then whisk in the essential oil.
Moving quickly, pour the mixture into jars.
Let sit on the counter for 23 hours to firm up.
Makes two small mason jars worth.
