This body lotion is easy to make at home, and of course its free of harsh chemical additives, artificial colours and fake flowery fragrances. With shea butter, coconut oil and beeswax, this is just what every organic goddesses&#8217; skin craves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that this recipe will give you a rich moisturising and toning lotion with a thick creamy texture. It will probably feel too &#8220;heavy&#8221; for daytime use, but it&#8217;s perfect for the evenings when you&#8217;ve just stepped out of a bath or shower. Massage it into your skin before bed, so you can soak up all that goodness while you sleep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>\u00bd cup <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Phileos-Organic-Extra-Virgin-Olive-Oil-p-2873.html\" target=\"_blank\">olive oil<\/a><\/li><li>\u00bc cup <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Crede-Organic-Virgin-Coconut-Oil-p-540.html\" target=\"_blank\">virgin coconut oil<\/a><\/li><li>\u00bc cup&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/simply-bee-pure-beeswax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"beeswax (opens in a new tab)\">beeswax<\/a><\/li><li>1Tbsp vitamin E oil (or sweet <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/Crede-Sweet-Almond-Oil-p-3489.html\" target=\"_blank\">almond oil<\/a>)<\/li><li>&nbsp;2Tbsp <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/nature-direct-shea-butter\" target=\"_blank\">shea butter<\/a><\/li><li>10-15 drops of a stimulating essential oil (eg. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/faithful-to-nature-organic-peppermint-essential-oil-10ml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"peppermint (opens in a new tab)\">peppermint<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/faithful-to-nature-organic-cinnamon-essential-oil-10ml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">cinnamon<\/a>)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Method<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Place all your ingredients together in a large glass jar.<\/li><li>Fill a saucepan with a 1-2 inches of water and bring to a boil.<\/li><li>Place a lid on the jar, and place it into the boiling water.
