BEST Moisturizer DIY Lotion Recipe Natural Ingredients | Natural Minimalist | Mindful Wellness
I'm sharing my favorite DIY organic body lotion recipe, using all-natural ingredients. This simple handmade body butter is incredibly moisturizing, smooth, long-lasting, and cost-effective. The easy DIY natural body lotion is fast to make and is the best handmade lotion there is. The chemical-free, organic lotion is a wonderful way to reduce waste, live mindfully, and be a natural minimalist. Mindful Wellness is about being mindful of the products you use on your body and in your home.
This simple DIY body butter is my favorite moisturizer, and I think it will be yours too.

**TIP: If your mixture is not whipping and is very runny it is because it is NOT cooled enough. Put it in the fridge or ice bath and try to whip again. It will become firm when completely cool.

I fell in love with this body lotion! It is my favorite moisturizing lotion I've ever used.

Hi Connie. Great recipe… I have a similar version I make. I can’t wait to try it! Just a tip I wanted to share. I am a certified essential oil specialist and educator. I wanted to suggest you don’t add the lavender essential oil as heat kills the therapeutic properties. Instead add it once it cools a couple minutes.❤

🌷PRECIOUS FACE CREAM : 100 g shea butter, 50 g sweet almond oil, 20 drop of essential oil (optional). Heat the shea butter in a saucepan over a low heat. When it is completely melted and cooled, pour it into a bowl together with the almond oil and essential oil. Mix well with a kitchen whisk (or a teaspoon) and then pour it directly into the jar of your choice, close it and place it in the fridge for an hour, the shea butter will solidify again 💜

Made this today. It took a while to get the right temperature for whisking. I put different essential oil combinations in 4 different little pots. My husband was also in the kitchen making chapatis, just wearing shorts and an apron, so instead of wiping my hands on a cloth between making concoctions, I used 4 legs, 4 arms and his shoulders. He said I should make this "stuff" more often! 😅

So I think I may have found a solution to the mixture not whipping and staying liquefied. I had the same problem. Had accidentally left it in the freezer a bit too long to cool and it hardened partially, but it whipped beautifully at first and then turned to liquid a moment beyond that. I had to try a few more attempts and it was messy but I found the right consistency. I actually think the problem is a combination of the blender and melting the butters beforehand. I had to let it harden quite a bit and drizzled a bit of olive oil as I was blending. I think if you're using a powerful blender, try placing all the ingredients in the jar and whipping them together without melting them first or melt the coconut oil only. That's what I plan to do next time. Once you get it right, it is luxurious and worth it. Connie you have taught me so much. My hair and skin feels amazing. Thank you!

This is such a great recipe. I wasn’t able to get it thick the first time I made it so I added some bees wax as an emulsifier. I was able to pour it hot right into my food processor and it thickened right up in about a minute.

[fauzianezam]

You have a soothing voice. I’ve never made my own moisturizer but somehow I ended up on this part of YouTube and now I feel like I’m part of the cult and I must only move forward making my own

[patmaurer]

My sister introduced me to your recipe, because I have so many fragrance and plant allergies that I basically go without beauty products. This potion feels light and wonderful, and no irritants! :-)

[debbielynch]

I made this today, and you are absoulutely correct! It is the best, most luxurious cream I have used. Once it melts in, my skin feels like velvet. I love this. It will be my go-to cream now and this winter. Thank you for sharing! I did put it in the freezer for 8 minutes so it was the perfect consistency to whip. I would love for you to share all of your recipes for hand-made products!

[debralynfisherpryor]

Easy to find ingredients, easy to make, absolutely the best body lotion I’ve ever used! I opted to use orange essential oil. Thank you very much for the recipe.

Loving your videos, loving your kindness, sweetness and smartness 🌸 I have tried your recipe with lots of fear because I have started getting eczema on my hands a few months ago. I have tried everything, parfume/paraffin free baby lotions to expensive pharmacy moisturizers... Either I got allergic reactions or didn't moisture enough and I couldn't stop having my eczema worse. Only Vaseline was partly helpful but not enough. I went to doctor and he gave some sort of steroids liquid but it was only helping when I use it. After 2 weeks, I had to stop using steroids and my eczema came up again.

Long in short, your recipe saved my life! No allergic reactions, super moisture and smells amazing. Now I am making my second batch 😊 this time I used less cacao and shea butter less, coconut more to have a softer. Thank you very much ❤️

I’m excited to try this! Only disclaimer id add is that glass can burst if the temperature changes suddenly like that.

I learned the hard way making homemade candles. 😅 you can lose a lot of work and product 💔

Loved the video!

[susanmacaluso]

Ha! She made this look so easy and I followed it to the letter. The disclaimer is that if it won't whip and stays runny it must cool completely. Wrong. "Cooling completely" infers leaving it at room temperature, or refrigerating it until it is cool, which does nothing. It has to be "refrigerated until it is solid again", then broken up into pieces, then whipped with a hand mixer, " because the immersion blender is a messy joke. The lotion is oily and it gets on everything during the process, because I had to go from the immersion blender to the hand mixer because it doesn't make it smooth enough with the immersion blender. ANYWAY, after all of that I will say that it turned out bright white and beautifully whipped, but, man, oh man! I like that it is pure, but it is a bit greasy. My discovery is that if I pour the melted blend of ingredients into lip gloss pots and refrigerate them until solid, then those are awesome lip balms. Not minimalist, because of all the ingredients to purchase, the pans and jars, refrigeration, kitchen equipment, but at least it is pure. I am glad that I didn't give up on it.

I do it also for years but I don not use any blender, I make a warm water bath mix the ingredients and let them cool down! P.s. you are most beautiful and really calming spirit!

[judyshather]

Just made my first batch today and used it after a shower. This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing all your ideas and inspiration!

[eliselange]

Hi Connie…nice recipe…just a suggestion…add one teaspoon of hexane free castor oil to your recipe. Castor oil is a humectant and, as long as you don’t add more than 1 to 3% to your formulation, it will speed up absorption and extract moisture from the atmosphere and transport it into your skin ….

[janemacfarlane]

I made this and totally agree that it is amazing. It was simple and the end product is the best I have used. I did a little research on the three products used and you should be able to use it on your face if you don’t have acne issue, according to recent research. So far so good on my skin!

[mwright]

Love the technique of using the mason jars to melt and mix!

There is a way to prevent the clogged pores on the face. Rub a pinky mail amount or less into wet hands in a very thin layer then gently smooth onto the face or warm the same small amount into hands and apply thinly to a freshly washed and wet face.
