Homemade Lotion Recipe

This is honestly my favorite lotion. It is simple, smooth, creamy, absorbs well, no chemical smell or feel, much easier on you or your kid's sensitive skin. I love it. So I had to share(Thanks again Corrie, for sharing this with me). It is so easy to make, and so much less expensive than storebought, eco-friendless lotions.

1/4 cup olive oil (I haven't tried yet but I bet other oils like jojoba, coconut and grapeseed could be lovely too)
1/4 cup emulsifying wax (veggie based NF kind, here is where you can buy some: http://www.etsy.com/listing/70570537/emulsifying-wax-veggie-based-3-oz-to-10)
1 1/4 cup water

Microwave wax and oil for 1 min
Microwave water for 1 min
Pour the water into the wax/oil combo
If it separates stir till it stops separating.

I have mine stored in a mason jar. You can keep it plain or you can add essential oils. I have one jar that has lavendar, clary sage, and rosemary. I have another jar that has cinnamon and orange. It only takes a few drops to scent the lotion so don't overdo it. The mixture thickens over a few hours and then is ready for use.

So easy, right? I don't think I will ever buy storebought again.

Try it out, see what you think!

Hugs and Namaste.
