Lavender And Calendula Lotion
Ingredients
4 tablespoons almond oil
1 tablespoon calendula petals
1 tablespoon apricot kernel oil
1 teaspoon beeswax
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon jojoba oil
½ tablespoon aloe vera jelly
½ cup distilled water
⅛ teaspoon borax
½ teaspoon lavender essential oil
Method
Heat the almond oil, apricot kernel oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, aloe vera jelly and beeswax until the beeswax is melted. Set aside and allow to cool.
Dissolve the borax in the distilled water. Heat it to a slow simmer.
Pour the oil mixture from earlier into a blender. Turn the blender on and slowly add the borax-water solution into the blender.
Add the lavender essential oil and calendula petals. Continue blending until well mixed and the lotion has thickened. Turn the blender off once the mixture has cooled to room temperature and pour into a container. Refrigerate, allowing the lotion to set before use.
Keep refrigerated until use since this recipe does not contain preservatives.
