Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup aloe vera gel (like this)
• ½ cup coconut oil (like this)
• 2 tablespoons jojoba oil (like this)
• 1.5 tablespoons beeswax pastilles (Can also use ¾th of a 1 oz bar of beeswax, diced finely or grated)
• 5-8 drops essential oil like lavender or geranium (optional)

Directions

• Heat coconut oil, beeswax, and jojoba oil in a modified double boiler, stirring occasionally to make sure contents combine.
• Once liquid, pour mixture into glass blender and allow mixture to completely cool (about 1 - 1.5 hours.) Once the mixture has cooled, take a spatula and scrap down the sides of the blender to loosen the contents.
• Turn blender on low and slowly pour aloe vera gel into the mixture, stopping occasionally to allow contents to combine.
• If contents get stuck in the blender, continue to scrap down the sides of the blender and whip mixture by hand until light, fluffy texture forms.
• Once aloe vera has been mixed in, blend 5-8 drops essential oil into lotion.
• SPECIAL REMINDER! Its incredibly important to allow mixture to completely cool in blender before adding aloe vera gel. Also, youll get the best results using a natural aloe vera gel. Aloe vera juice or homemade gel will not work the same.
