1 Gather and measure the ingredients and put them in an oven-proof container for melting. 2 Gently melt shea butter and coconut oil in the top of a double boiler. Remove from heat and let it cool for 30 minutes. Once the mixture has cooled down, you can add the almond oil. Feel free to add other
other essential oils if you prefer a different fragrance (essential oil is optional though), just make sure that you’re not allergic to any of the ingredients. 4 This process is the crucial one. If you don’t chill it properly, it won’t whip or stay whipped. Place the mixture in a freezer for about
25 or 30 minutes until it starts to solidify partially but still soft in consistency. By then, you can start whipping up the oil mixture using hand mixer or stand mixer until you reach a butter-like consistency. You can now transfer the mixture to a clean container.
Note: This homemade lotion will stay whipped within moderate temperature however, if you are living in a warmer or tropical place, you can store this inside the fridge to maintain its consistency. I love the consistency of this homemade lotion as it leaves a thin layer of oil when applied to the
to the skin without giving you that greasy feeling. After making my own batches, there’s no turning back using the store-bought synthetic junk again. please 👍👍👍 and try this really good lotion 👌👌👌
