Basic Moisturizing Lotion
3 oz. Sweet Almond Oil, Peach Kernel or Apricot Kernel Oil
1oz oz. Shea Butter, Mango or any other exotic butter
1oz oz. Vegetable Glycerin
6 Tbsp. Emulsifying Wax
16 oz. Distilled Water (room temperature)
Essential Oil/Fragrance Oil to taste
To prolong shelf life add a preservative like LiquaPar Optima, from 0.5-1%.
In a heat-safe measuring cup combine the oil, butter, vegetable glycerin, and emulsifying wax. Melt in the microwave (about 1 - 2 minutes).
Measure water and put into a blender. Turn the blender on low and very slowly pour in the melted oil mixture. Your mixture should resemble a beautiful cream.
Add essential/fragrance oils and preservative(optional)last, turning on the blender just enough to incorporate the oils. Pour into bottles/jars while still warm. The mixture will thicken more as it cools. Cap jars when completely cooled.
If no preservative is used, store in the refrigerator to prolong its shelf life.
