Making scented lotion with essential oils is a simple and fun process that allows you to customize the fragrance and nourish your skin at the same time.
With just a few simple ingredients and a bit of creativity, you’ll be on your way to creating a luxurious, personalized lotion in no time.
- Organic coconut oil - Shea butter - Almond oil or carrier oil of choice - Vitamin e oil - Drops essential oil
In a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl placed over a pot of simmering water, melt the coconut oil, shea butter, and almond oil together. Stir gently until they are fully melted and combined.
Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. You can place it in the refrigerator for quicker cooling, but make sure it doesn't solidify completely.
Add the vitamin E oil and any essential oils of your choice. Essential oils are highly concentrated, so start with less drops than you think you need.
Transfer the mixture to a glass bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or until it starts to solidify around the edges.
Using a hand mixer, immersion blender, or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the mixture on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes.
