Pour a splash into the hottest tub you can stand and take a leisurely soak

Ingredients:

1 C granulated sugar
1/2 C oil coconut oil, sweet almond oil)
2 – 4 T ground orange peel (optional – makes a great defoliant)
2 T glycerin (optional)
10 drop peppermint essential oil (more or less)
10 – 15 drops sweet orange essential oil (or other citrus oil of your choice)

Instructions:

– Mix sugar, oil, orange peel and glycerin together.

– Gradually add the essential oil, mixing well.

– Store your scrub in a glass container (I put mine in a metal powder container lined with plastic wrap).

TO USE: Rub a small amount on wet hands, scrub body, rinse with warm water.

Ingredients:

1/2 C Coconut Oil
1/2 C Cocoa Butter
1/2 C Shea Butter
1/2 C Sweet Almond Oil
1 tsp. Vitamin E Oil (Optional)
5 – 10 drops Peppermint Essential Oil (Optional)

Instructions:

– Place coconut oil, cocoa butter and shea butter in a medium pot over low heat. Stir until all of the oils melt completely and combine. Remove from heat.

– Thoroughly mix sweet almond oil, vitamin E oil and essential oil into the melted oil mixture.

– Chill in the refrigerator until the oil thickened (not too hard)

– Use a stand mixer or hand mixer (I used my Kitchen Aid with whip attachment) to whip to an impossibly decadent whipped consistency.

– Scoop into jars with lids and enjoy.

This will last 6 months to a year. If your home is very warm, the oils may separate. If they do, just whip again to the correct consistency.

Ingredients:
1/2 C coconut oil
3 T beeswax
5 drops of Essential oil (or more or less, depending on preference)

Instructions:
– In a small saucepan, melt the coconut oil and beeswax over low heat. I grate my beeswax with a cheese grater. It melts faster and is very easy to measure.

– Remove from heat, add essential oil. Allow to cool, stirring occasionally.

– When cool, use a stand mixer or hand mixture to mix to a creamy consistency. Pour into containers and label.

You can add extra beeswax if you want a more solid consistency or less for a very liquid lotion – it’s up to you.

This lotion is somewhat oily going on, but quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving it impossibly soft and smooth. It is rather addicting!

If you value knowing what you are putting on your skin, this is the lotion for you. Enjoy!!
