BUTTER ME UP ALL OVER LOTION

7.8 oz. Shea Butter (although vaseline is controversial, you can use it, too)

15 oz.  Baby Lotion (I use scent free and put my own essential oils in)

8 oz.    Vitamin E skin cream

Mix with your mixer until it's smooth and creamy.  I store mine in small mason jars.

Oh people, I love this cream!!!  I mainly use it on my face but it is universal for your whole body!!!  It's easy, fast and economical.

I found this recipe in Herbs (Reader's Digest Home Handbooks).

LIGHT ROSE MOISTURIZER

 (for all skin types)

A pleasant light cream for daytime use.

1 t. beeswax                                                   3 tbsp. rosewater, warmed

1 t. lanolin                                                        6 drops essential oil of rose

1 tbsp. almond oil                                                                          

1/2 t. borax

1. Melt the beeswax and lanolin together, stirring constantly.

2.  Warm the oils gently and gradually beat them into the waxes.  Dissolve the borax in the rosewater and slowly add to the oil and wax mixture,  beating constanly until cool.  Stir in the rose oil as the mixture begins to thicken.

3.  Spoon into jars and label.

You can substitute the essential oil of rose for an essential oil of your choice, too.  Lovely!
