Some of the best skincare products are found in the kitchen, and you don't have to travel far to find them.Coconut oil is an excellent example.Coconut oil is great for healing and moisturizing.Wouldn't it be great if you could make your own store-bought lotion?The process is easy and enjoyable.If you are unsure if coconut oil is a good fit for you, talk to your doctor.
Step 1: The coconut oil should be placed in a mixing bowl.
The coconut oil should be straight from the fridge.The coconut oil won't whip properly if it's soft.
Step 2: If you want, add a small amount of vitamin E oil.
You can use about 4 capsule of the oil instead if you can't find a bottle.Take the oil out of the capsule and put it in the bowl.
Step 3: If you want, you can add 10 to 15 drops of essential oil.
It will give the lotion a nice scent.You can combine a few different oils and make your own scent, or you can only use one type of oil.
Step 4: For 6 to 7 minutes, whip the oil with a stick blender.
The sides of the bowl should be scrapped from time to time.When the oil turns light, airy, and fluffy, continue mixing.It can turn smooth or form peaks like buttercream frosting.
Step 5: The oil should be put into a jar.
A rubber spatula can be used to scoop the oil into the jar.You can divide between the two jars.The jar can be kept in the fridge or room temperature.
Step 6: Whip 100 grams of coconut oil.
Put 100 grams of coconut oil into a mixing bowl.It will turn light and fluffy if you whip it on high for 6 to 9 minutes.
Step 7: Add the amount of the gel.
The lotion will be cool and soothing with this.Don't use too many added ingredients when using a plain, 100%Aloe Vera gel.Carrageenan, fragrance oils, parabens, polysorbate 20, and retinyl palmitate are not good for you.
Step 8: If you want, you can add up to 12 drops of essential oil.
If you combine a few different ones, you can create your own scent.If you want the lotion to be even more cooling, try basil, eucalyptus, lemon, and lemongrass.The oil is potent.If you want to add more, start with just a few drops.
Step 9: Stir everything together.
You can use a whisk or fork, but don't use too much, or the coconut oil will lose its fluff.You want the gel to be mixed in evenly with the oil, with no streaks or swirls.
Step 10: The rubber spatula can be used to transfer the lotion.
One 8-ounce jar or two 4-ounce jars can be used.The jars should be kept in a room temperature.Put the lotion in the fridge if it starts to get soft.
Step 11: The coconut oil can be microwaved.
Place coconut oil and wax in a microwave-safe bowl.When they are melted, heat them for 2 minutes.Set up a double-boiler and use that instead.
Step 12: The water should be brought to a boil.
16 ounces of distilled water is enough to fill a small saucepan.The water should be brought to a boil, then removed from the heat.
Step 13: The mixture includes the water, oil, wax, and glycerin.
Add 8 ounces of glycerin to the oil/wax mixture after pouring the water into it.When the color and texture are consistent, stir everything together with a whisk or spoon.
Step 14: If you wish, add some essential oil.
Use 10 to 15 drops of essential oil.For something more unique, you can use a combination of different fragrances.
Step 15: The lotion should be put into jars.
The rest of the lotion can be put into a larger jar for storage.The big jar should be kept in the fridge.All of the jars should be kept in the fridge if it is warm.
