Nourishing Body and Hand Cream

This lotion recipe uses essential oils. While they aren’t necessary, adding them can turn your lotion from being simply moisturizing to something that really addresses what is going on with your skin.

  • Dry or aging skin?  Try rose & geranium
  • Need to be energized and refreshed?  Try lavender, lemon, and grapefruit
  • Troubled skin like psoriasis or eczema?  Try helichrysum, frankincense, lavender, sandalwood, chamomile, rose or jasmine
  • Want to avoid Stretch Marks?  Try helichrysum, lavender, patchouli, neroli, rose, & geranium
