Ingredients

  • ½ cup 4 ounces Shea Butter (organic)
  • 3 Tbsp Coconut Oil (certified organic)
  • 3 Tbsp Aloe Vera Gel (certified organic)
  • 1 Tbsp Rosehip Oil (certified organic)
  • 30 drops Lavender Essential Oil

Instructions

  • You will need a stand mixer or hand mixer to make this recipe.
  • Break shea butter into chunks and place in the mixer. Whip on high for 20 seconds. It will stick to the sides.
  • Scrape the shea butter from the sides. Add coconut oil and whip for 20 seconds.
  • Scrape sides again and add aloe vera gel. Whip for 20 seconds.
  • Repeat this exact process for both the rosehip oil and lavender essential oil, adding them one at a time and mixing them well. The after-sun lotion should be creamy and easy to remove with a spatula.
  • Store in a mason jar with an airtight lid.
