Zero waste body lotion recipe
This zero waste body lotion is super simple, cost effective and chemical free!
Ingredients
- ½ cup fractionated coconut oil
- ½ cup rosehip seed oil
- 1 tbsp emulsifying wax (any pure, natural wax such as beeswax or soy wax will do)
- 2 tbsp rose water (rose essential oil can be added instead)
Instructions
- Pour the oils into a bowl and set aside while heating a double-boiler made from a large mouthed, heatproof glass jar over simmering water.
- Add the emulsifying wax to the hot water and stir until melted.
- Add the melted emulsifying wax to the oils and stir again until thoroughly combined.
- Pour in the rosewater and stir once more.
- As the lotion cools it will thicken slightly, but will not solidify as it would if you used beeswax.
- Pour into your desired storage container and enjoy your luxurious, all-natural lotion!
Notes
If you use it on your face, be sure to always wear sunscreen afterward.
