Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Melt equal parts of each ingredient (except essential oils and vitamin C) in a double boiler. I make my own double boiler by placing a bowl over a pot of water and bringing it to a boil.
  • After the mixture is melted together, place the bowl in the freezer until it's set up a bit. You don’t want it to be solid just firm.
  • Add essential oils and vitamin C. 
  • Using a hand mixer or stand up mixer whip the ingredients together.
  • Store in an airtight container.

Notes

NOTE: I make this recipe by using a 1/2 cup of equal parts. For that amount of lotion, I do 20 drops of essential oils and 1 tablespoon of vitamin C powder.
