DIY HYDRATING LOTION
Making your own lotion is not only better for your health, but it will save you money! This one only requires 3 simple ingredients and can be made in less than 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Shea Butter
- ¼ cup JoJoba Oil
- 10 drops Essential Oil
Instructions
- In a double boiler, melt the shea butter over medium heat. If using coconut oil or another solid oil you will need to add it too. Once it's melted, turn off the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Stir in the other oils and essential oils. Then pour it in a glass mason jar. Place in the fridge to allow it to completely cool and harden up. Then it can be stored at room temperature. It is a thicker lotion and will last up to 6 months.
Notes
Note: if you're pregnant be sure to check to make sure the essential oils you use are safe for pregnancy. You can also just leave them out for a fragrance-free lotion.
