Oatmeal and shea butter are both moisturizing and nutritious to your skin. This is a great lotion to use to get rid of the dry spell after these cold winter months. Enjoy!
ingredients:
1/4 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp almond oil
1/2 cup almond milk
1 tbsp emulsifying wax
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp Shea butter
Begin by soaking the oatmeal in the water for one to two hours. Once soaked, blend to a smooth texture. Next, heat the almond milk and oatmeal together on the stove top. Do not let it boil. In a separate pan, melt together the wax, oil, shea butter, and honey. Once completely melted, stir both mixtures together. Pour back into the blender and blend for three minutes. This will create a thick, consistent texture. Pour it into a sealable container. Once it cools the lotion with thicken even more. Use daily after showering for soft, silky skin!

Probably a stupid question but where do you buy the emulsifying wax? I love your homemade skincare remedies!
ReplyDeleteYou can find supplies like emulsifying wax, beeswax etc. on Etsy.com
DeleteOhhh! May have to try this. ;)
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought to make my own lotion! I love it and can't wait to try it out! How much did this make roughly? And can you double/triple it?

Great recipe! I will substitute coconut milk & Organic Virgin coconut oil (I have a kid allergic to Peanuts/ Tree nuts--Coconut is a fruit by the way) add a few drops of concentrated Vitamin E oil to preserve the lotion.
ReplyDeleteThe original recipe, as written, would last how long?
Adding an all natural preservative like Leucidal Liquid would make it last a lot longer too!
