Hi there!
So my second-mom, I call her Mama Carol, is letting me post her herbal remedy base recipes here for others to enjoy! I have known Carol for 10 1/2 years. She is one of the most earthy, centered women I've ever met, and she has the most amazing remedies and ideas for everything! Such a crafty woman! I'd love to talk her into guest-posting here sometime. I think you all would love her!!
(I'm pretty much copying this recipe directly as she wrote it!)
Lotion Base:
1 cup Coconut Oil
1/2 cup EV olive oil
Tbsp Vit E
A few drops of essential oil (your choice - Lavender, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Lemon, etc)
Directions:
Warm in a double-boiler and mix well, let cool 20 - 30 minutes( but don't let it set completely) then whip it until it's light and airy like a mousse. Scoop into an airtight jar and there ya go!
Carol also sent me some tips I'd like to share with you regarding making a base and even a tip on lipbalms! I quote her below:
"As a Base, Coconut Oil is wonderful, (solid at rm temp) add a little EV Olive Oil and Voila! Or add a little melted Beeswax (1:1) and it's a lovely Lip Balm!"
Thank you Carol!!!!!!
HUGS!
