as far as i'm concerned this whipped body butter is it.

face, hands, cuticles, feet, you name it.

lotion kindly made it's way out of my house years ago when i realized it was actually making my eczema worse (fragrances, chemicals, blah!), rather than soothe it. i found refuge with oils like avocado, almond, sesame & grapeseed but this recipe takes it to another level & i can't get enough.

what you need:

1C coconut oil (unrefined & in a solid state)

1/4C almond oil

1/4C aloe vera gel

30 dashes of lavender essential oil (or your favorite, lavender is one of the most sensitive)

electric hand mixer

what to do:

make sure the coconut oil you are using is in a solid state — this is key to making it fluffy

combine all ingredients in a bowl

use hand mixer to whip into a fluffy texture making sure to break up the hard bits of coconut oil

jar it & you're good to go

keep in mind that in warmer weather this will be more of a liquid than solid, but still works just the same.
