Homemade Calming Lotion With Lavender Recipe
Lavender is one of the most relaxing and soothing essential oils, as well as one of the most versatile essential oils. If you love making homemade lotions and potions, you definitely NEED lavender essential oil in your arsenal. Lavender oil contains over 400 compounds, so no wonder it's one of the most useful of essential oils!
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 2 tbsp beeswax pastilles
- 5 drops lavender essential oil
Directions:
- In a double boiler or in the microwave, melt the coconut oil and the beeswax pastilles.
- Remove from heat and add the essential oil. Stir again.
