For my second clean living product, I decided to tackle making a lotion. This really goes great with the sugar scrub I made last week for incredibly soft skin. Here's how I did it:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup organic cocoa butter
1/2 cup aloe vera gel
3/4 cup grapeseed oil (can substitute olive or sesame oil)
Optional*
Essential oil- I used vanilla and lavender
To prep the cocoa butter, you may need to heat it to soften it.
Next, simply mix together all of the ingredients with the blender. The essential oils tend to fade over time, so you can be liberal when adding it. I added roughly two teaspoons, but there is no wrong or right amount to add. It's up the user on how strong you'd like the scent.
For the container, I used a small mason jar. I took the lid and punched a hole in the top, stuck a soap dispenser through and glued it in place with gorilla glue!

Hope your Wednesday is off to a lovely start.
