Shea Butter Lotion!

Well after three tries, I think I finally got it right! This stuff is like magic! And there’s emulsifier whatsoever. The ingredients are literally;

Organic Raw Shea Butter

Tupelo Honey

Distilled Water

Organic Beeswax (i can use kokum butter for vegans!)

Coconut Oil

I sneak in a little argan, jojoba and vit E oil!

Essential Oil (if desired)

Germ-all, a broad spectrum anti microbial added at 1-2% of the total mixture. This means the lotion will last 4-6 months and not grow things, instead of 2 weeks without this ingredient. I recommend refrigerating portions not to be used right away and i use sanitized bottles that squeeze out, so no fingers and germs get in. Oh, all the stuff you must consider when making lotion!

How I make it; I melt the oils in a double boiler and add the honey to the warm distilled water. I let the oils cool to 95 degrees and keep the honey mixture at 95 degrees, using my electric pointer thermometer. I emulsify the two with a stick blender and then whip it with a hand blender!

The scent is added at the end of the process.

This lotion is heavier, it leaves you with a light sheen. Its great for dry skin and skin issues, aging skin and problem areas like the knees and elbows. I love to use it on the back of my hands. Its not really for your face but great for legs. Darker or lighter complexed customers both loved it, it is great for everyone (:
