Ingredients
2 tablespoons beeswax, pastilles or finely chopped bar
4 tablespoons shea butter (can be infused)
4 tablespoons cocoa butter (can be infused)
4 tablespoons of botanically infused coconut (or other) oil made in your LĒVO machine
1/2 cup grapeseed oil (can be infused)
1/2 tsp Vitamin E oil
30-35 drops of peppermint essential oil
1 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
1 250 ml jar (or 5 50 ml jars)
Directions
In a glass (Pyrex) measuring cup or bowl, measure the beeswax, shea butter, cocoa butter, and grapeseed oil.
Put some water into a shallow pan and warm up the water.
Place the bowl (with your ingredients in it) into the hot water. With the pot of water off the stove, stir your ingredients in the bowl until they melt.
Let the mixture cool until just before it begins to solidify completely, then stir in the Vitamin E oil and essential oils.
Allow the mix to cool completely at room temperature.
Using a spatula, transfer the cream to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a regular mixing bowl to use a hand mixer. Turn the mixer on to medium speed to break up and whip the cream.
After about 25 seconds, or when the mixture is looking creamy, turn it off and sprinkle the cornstarch (you could alternately use arrowroot powder) evenly into the bowl.
Turn the mixer back on at a low setting to incorporate the cornstarch. Mix the cornstarch in and then turn the mixer to high speed and whip until the cream is fluffy, light, and opaque. The mixture should seem like frosting.
When the cream is whipped, transfer it to cream jars. This is enough lotion to make five 50 ml cream jars.
Recipe Note
How to Use Your Infused Peppermint Foot Lotion
Rub in a bit of your homemade lotion every morning after your daily shower. The lotion smells so good that you won’t even want to wear perfume. You can use this lotion on any part of your body that has dry skin. Rub a little lotion into your hands if they’re dry from the wind and cold. You can also apply the lotion to those sun-exposed parts of your body if they’re dry from overexposure too.
Give The Lotion Away as Gifts for Friends
This lotion makes a great gift for friends and family. You can package the containers with a customized label and coordinated ribbon or thread, so this lotion looks as good as it smells and feels. Enjoy!
Note: Just make sure you’re not using any ingredients that your recipient might be allergic to.
