Simple Living. Creative LearningThis amazing homemade hand cream is so nourishing and soothing, and is easy to make with all natural ingredients.
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Cocoa Butter Or Shea Butter
- ½ Cup Coconut Oil
- 4 TBSP Carrier Oil Or infused oil
- 1 TBSP Arrowroot Powder
- 10 Drops Essential Oils Optional
Instructions
- Pour the coconut oil and cocoa butter into a glass container and heat up in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each heating session, until they have melted. A double boiler method works for this as well.
- Remove from the heat and let harden in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
- If using essential oils, add them to the carrier oil.
- Take the mixture out of the freezer and whip until light and fluffy.
- Slowly add in the carrier oil while gently whipping.
- Then add in the arrowroot powder and mix through.
- Pour into glass jar and add lid.
- To use, scoop a generous amount of cream out of the jar and apply to your body.
- Store the jar in a cool place, as it will melt if it gets too hot. It should last around three months.
- If needed, you can try to re-fluff the body cream by whipping it back up to the desired consistency.
