I decided I would make another moisturiser to go with my dandelion one. A nighttime one of lavender, chamomile and coconut I thought would be nice. Very simple to make.
32g shea butter
1 tbsp lavender infused in olive oil
1/2 tbsp chamomile infused in coconut oil
1/2 tbsp lavender infused in coconut
10 drops of lavender essential oil
Melt ingredients together in a double boiler, adding the oil at the end when all melted. Pour into a glass dish, and set in fridge for 6-8 hours. It may go a bit soft again in warm weather, but then sets again. (It’s important to set in the fridge first otherwise the mix can separate.
Here is the recipe for the Dandelion Moisturiser if you would like that one too.
And my recipe for homemade salve as well – Dandelion salve
