body lotion making supplies
- Shea Butter – 1/2 cup
- Cocoa Butter – 1/4 cup (if available)
- Coconut Oil – 1/4 cup
- Jojoba or almond oil – 1/4 cup
- Lavender oil – 10-15 drops
To make body lotion at home, first put shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil and jojoba or almond oil in a double boiler. While melting all these, keep stirring continuously, so that everything gets mixed well.
After this, when everything melts and mixes well, then remove this mixture from the flame. After removing from flame, add drops of essential oil and mix well. If the oil is not mixed well, the entire mixture will not smell good. After this, keep the mixture in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Just take care that it does not become completely tight. When it gets slightly frozen, take it out from the freezer and then beat it with the help of a hand mixer or whisk. This will spoil the texture of the body lotion.
