It’s the wonderful time to talk about with you all a terrific recipe for the best body lotion you will ever use! What makes it so terrific? Well, for one, when you construct your own skin products, you know specifically what’s going into them and can guarantee it’s safety. A number of of you think it’s too much work to craft your own body products…I used to believe this too! I came across a extremely simple recipe thanks to one of my most liked green females, Tania Reuben a.k.a the Pure Natural Diva. Obviously, I had to put my own twist on her recipe, but you can have a look at the first recipe here. This recipe has a couple simple components and takes only a couple of minutes to make. When I discovered this recipe, I chose to make this as novelties for everyone! An additional neat thing is that you are able to customize the scents with any mix of pure essential oils and make some really awesome mixtures! In the movie, I made a mint orange body lotion I prefer to call Orange Creamsicle. It smells positively divine! In the video, I also say to you the sites where you can purchase all the materials (one of them is distilled water, which you can pick up at the local supermarket.) Here are the ingredients and steps:

The Best Body Lotion (Body Butter)

2-3 Tbsp distilled h2o
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
2 Tbsp beeswax
Vitamin E capsule
Therapeutic Essential Oils

Directions:

1. blend oil, and beeswax. Cook over low heat on stove.
2. When beeswax is almost entirely melted, take away from heat and place in glass bowl.
3. Add water, and mix with a hand mixer until it gets thick a bit. If you desire more of a lotion feel, add more liquid. I added 3 tablespoons and my version came out more like a lotion then a body butter.
4. Add essential oil or oils.
5. Let sit for 15-20 minutes to thicken additionally then put into a glass container, (unfilled baby food jar or mason jar works well!)

Put some lovely ribbon (or use newspaper for curling ribbon to make this an extra eco-friendly gift.) Did you ever imagine it would be this easy to make the best body lotion (or body butter?) I had great fun making this and I really hope it showed through in the video. Right now I need to go make some a lot more!

Did you test this concoction out? What were the outcome? Do you have an even more advantageous body lotion or butter recipe? Discuss them in the discussion section!

UPDATE: A number of of the creams you purchase in the retail store contain unhealthy preservatives- chemicals which enhance the shelf life of the lotion yet carry unsafe unwanted effects. This handmade cream is 100% all-natural and preservative free. That being said, I was just recently made aware by Bubble & Bee Organic Owner Stephanie Greenwood that because this lotion does not have preservatives, it must be kept securely closed and in the refrigerator to prevent bacteria. I was assuming that the vitamin was used as as a natural preservative medium, and it does keep the oil from turning sour, however it doesn’t stop microbial growth. I am presently investigating adding a natural preservative to this combination, thank you to Stephanie for the advice and tips! This is a education process for me too and I’m so pleased you are here with me on this voyage.
