homemade lotion

This particular lotion works quite nicely as a face and body lotion since it absorbs into the skin quickly and leaves your skin soft and silky smooth.

Recipe: Rose Face & Body Lotion

Grapeseed oil

organic Coconut oil, refined or unrefined

organic Cocoa Butter wafers cocoa butter

Tbsp organic Rosehip Seed oil

Tbsp Vitamin E oil

Tbsp Beeswax pastilles

Aloe Vera gel

organic Rose Hydrosol

Aphrodite aroma oil

Peru Balsam essential oil

In a glass Pyrex bowl or large glass Pyrex measuring cup (at least 4 cup size), combine Grapeseed oil, Coconut oil, Cocoa Butter wafers, Rosehip Seed oil, Vitamin E oil, and Beeswax pastilles.

Heat over boiling water until melted and mixed together.

Remove from heat and allow to cool for about a half hour. You may be able to speed up the cooling process by setting the bowl in the fridge or freezer for several minutes.

Combine Aloe Vera gel and Rose Hydrosol in a separate bowl.

Once the oils have cooled a bit, it is time to mix!

Depending on the temperature of your ingredients, the mixing until thick and creamy may take anywhere from a few minutes to 5 or 10 minutes. Don't get discouraged. The texture will be like a medium thick pudding when it is ready.

Add the Aphrodite aroma oil and the Peru Balsam essential oil.

Pour the finished lotion into containers and allow to cool completely before putting on the lids.

Here's a homemade lotion for your hands, body and face. This DIY lotion is easy to make and will soothe the skin while offering a healthy glow soon after the first application.
