Beeswax Body Lotion

Beeswax Body Lotion

Making homemade body lotion using beeswax can be a nourishing and natural way to keep your skin moisturized. Here's a basic recipe for beeswax body lotion:

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup grated beeswax
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup almond oil or another carrier oil of your choice (e.g., olive oil, jojoba oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional, for added skin benefits)
  • 10-20 drops of essential oil for fragrance (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Your Work Area: Ensure your work area is clean and sanitized. Gather all the ingredients and equipment you'll need.

  2. Melt the Beeswax: Using a double boiler or a heatproof glass container in a saucepan of water, melt the grated beeswax over low to medium heat. Stir occasionally until the beeswax is fully melted.

  3. Add the Oils: Once the beeswax is melted, add the coconut oil and almond oil (or your chosen carrier oil) to the same container. Continue to heat gently until all the oils are completely combined.

  4. Add Vitamin E Oil (Optional): If you're using vitamin E oil for its skin-nourishing properties, add it to the mixture and stir to combine.

  5. Fragrance with Essential Oils (Optional): If you want to add a pleasant scent to your body lotion, add 10-20 drops of your favorite essential oil. Common choices include lavender, rose, citrus oils, and more. Stir well to distribute the fragrance evenly.

  6. Cool and Set: Once all the ingredients are combined, remove the mixture from the heat source and allow it to cool for a few minutes. It should start to thicken as it cools.

  7. Blend or Whip: Using a hand mixer or a blender, whip the mixture until it becomes creamy and smooth. This step will help create a lighter texture for your body lotion.

  8. Store: Transfer the whipped body lotion into clean, airtight containers, such as jars or bottles. Ensure the containers are thoroughly clean and dry before filling them.

  9. Use: Your homemade beeswax body lotion is ready to use. Apply it to your skin as needed to keep it moisturized and supple. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more if necessary.

  10. Label: Don't forget to label your containers with the lotion's ingredients and any additional information you want to include.

Keep your homemade body lotion in a cool, dry place. It should stay fresh for several months, especially if you've added vitamin E oil, which acts as a natural preservative. If you notice any changes in color, scent, or texture, it's a sign that the lotion may have gone bad, and you should discontinue use.

Make sure you the beeswax you use are raw 100 % pure beeswax, like sold on this site. Click on the image below to view our products:
