Lemon-Lavender Body Lotion

Source of Recipe

From "Gifts in Jars" by Natalie Wise


Recipe Introduction

"This luscious lavender body lotion is the perfect gift for anyone who lives in a cold climate. The shea butter locks in moisture and skin drinks up the coconut oil. This will keep solid in cold climates, but if you live in a warm area, store in the refrigerator to prevent separating and melting. If it melts, just stir it together again and let it solidify in the refrigerator. I love lemon-lavender for a refreshing yet stress-relieving scent, but feel free to try other essential oils as well."

• 8 drops lavender essential oil
