Basic Body Lotion
This is a great basic starter lotion, feel free to experiment with scent/oil combinations. Some we like are: lime/vanilla, orange/vanilla & coconut/vanilla. 1 cup of aloe vera gel 1 teaspoon of lanolin 4 teaspoon of pure vitamin E oil 1/3 cup of coconut oil 1/4 ounce of beeswax 3/4 cup of almond oil Up to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of essential oil of your choice or more to prolong scent Place aloe vera gel, lanolin and vitamin E oil in a blender or food processor. Place coconut oil and beeswax in a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup, microwave on high for 30 second and stir. Repeat in ten second blocks until fully melted. Stir in almond oil, reheating if necessary. Run blender at low to medium speed, then pour in melted oils in a thin stream. As the oils is blended in the cream will turn white. See the complete post here
