If you’re looking for something a bit lighter for the summer months, or just want to drink your coffee without dropping the mug, here is a great non-greasy moisturizing lotionalternative for you! This one’s made with shea butter and almond and jojoba oils, which are much more easily absorbed. And of course, it doesn’t contain anything you can’t pronounce.

Whether they’re dealing with a cold winter or playing in the dirt all day, your hands can take a beating. And while it doesn’t feel (or sound) quite as luxurious as the body butter, this non-greasy moisturizing lotion is easy to whip up and will still leave your hands feeling happy regardless of what they go through!


Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup
    Shea Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons
    oil (I used 1 Tbsp each of almond oil and jojoba oil)
  • 10 - 15 Drops
    your favorite essential oils (I used lavender and rosemary)

Instructions

  1. Melt the shea butter and oils together. I make an improvised double-boiler by resting a small stainless steel bowl in a small saucepan of water - this way I don't have to be pouring stuff back and forth. If you prefer, you can just melt it in a pan over low heat.

  2. Put the bowl in the fridge to cool for 10-15 minutes, just to the point that the mixture starts to solidify and become translucent. You don't want it to fully harden or you'll have to start over.

  3. Add the essential oils.

  4. Using a handheld mixer, mix until it becomes creamy (a minute or two).
