Recipe: Sensual Hand and Body Cream

Making your own hand and body cream is an effective, cheap, non-toxic and much less wasteful as there is no need to throw out a plastic container every couple of months. Try this great alternative!

Ingredients

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/8 cup shea butter

1/8 cup cocoa butter

1 Tbsp aloe vera juice

1 Tbsp liquid oil of choice (i.e. sweet almond, jojoba)

10 drops Sensual Oil Blend (Orange, Patchouli, Ylang Ylang, Neroli)

Instructions

Place two cups of water into a pot and bring to the boil
In a separate bowl (larger than the pot), add the shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut oil
Place the bowl over the pot of boiling water until melted
Remove from heat.
Add the aloe vera juice, liquid oil, and essential oils and stir to combine well.
Store in container of your choice.

All ingredients available in-store.
This lotion is solid at room temperature, but warms up quickly in your hands …. even in a Christchurch winter.
