We all know that many store-bought lotions contain chemicals that are unnecessary and sometimes, toxic. The best solution is making your own homemade body lotion. You'd be surprised how easy it is! It only takes a few ingredients and 15 minutes to create your very own natural, non-toxic homemade body lotion with shea butter.
Using the double boiler method (see notes for how to do this) melt the Organic Shea Butter, Organic Coconut Oil and Organic Jojoba Oil all together.
Remove mixture from the heat and place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
When the mixture is partially solid mix with a spoon.
Add the Organic Lavender Essential Oil.
Using a hand mixer, start whipping the mixture for 3-5 minutes.
When desired texture is reached place your whipped butter into an airtight container and place on the airtight lid.
Notes
How to Use The Double Boiler Method: Fill a medium or large saucepan three-quarters of the way with water and set a glass bowl on top (see image below). Turn the stove on high and bring the water to a boil and then lower the heat to medium-low to keep the water boiling gently. Add your ingredients to the glass bowl to heat them gradually, stirring regularly until melted.
