doTERRA Body Lotion

By gwendee1

Ingredients

• Unrefined Coconut Oi
• l
• Vitamin E capsules (they need to be liquid capsules or geltabs so you can squeeze the Vitamin E out)
• Peppermint Essential Oils. (They must be therapeutic grade because this is absorbed into the skin.

Preparation

Step 1

You will first whip your coconut oil in the mixer. I use my KitchenAid because it’s the easiest. Whip on medium high for 10 – 15 minutes.

Add 4 capsules of Vitamin E oil; I cut open the gel tabs and squeezed the oils out of them and into the coconut oil. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects and repairs your skin, so this is a great thing to add to your lotion.

Then add 15 -20 drops of peppermint essential oils. I love this because it gives the lotion a slight cooling effect when you put it on. It also helps nourish dull skin and boosts the texture of oily skin.

Mix together for another minute.

I like to pour these into small 4 oz canning jars and store at room temperature.

What I love most about this lotion is that I know what is in it – there aren’t ingredients I have no idea how to pronounce. It takes me around 15 minutes to make an entire batch and I feel great using it!
