This Recipe is for Tinam or anyone who would like to make their own lotions and creams with NO additives. This is just my basic recipe. Once you try it you won't go back to store bought.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz. Sweet almond oil shopping list
- ½ oz. cocoa butter shopping list
- ½ oz. vegetable Glycerin shopping list
- 3 Tbsp. Emulsifying Wax ( found on the internet or a good Health Food Store ) shopping list
- 8 oz. distilled water (room temperature) shopping list
- 30 - 50 drops essential oils shopping list
- I like to use Meyer lemon Oil & Spanish lavender oil shopping list
How to make it
- In a heat-safe measuring cup combine the sweet almond oil, cocoa butter, vegetable glycerin, and emulsifying wax. Melt everything together in the microwave (about 1 - 2 minutes) or by the "double-boiler" method (nest the measuring cup into a saucepan containing 1 to 2 inches of water. Heat over medium heat until melted, stirring occasionally).
- Measure out water into a blender. Turn the blender on low and very slowly and steadily pour in the melted oil mixture. You should now have a thick, beautiful cream.
- Add the essential oils last, turning on the blender just enough to incorporate the oils and being careful not to over-blend the mixture. Pour into the jars while still warm, as it will thicken as it cools. Cap jars when completely cooled.
- Store any extra cream in the refrigerator to prolong its shelf life.
