I am all about finding new recipes to replace store-bought health and beauty products. I love my essential oils, but only want to use them when I have a specific health need. For everyday use I have started to use infused oils as they aren’t nearly as potent. This is a recipe I am using for an all over body lotion/butter and DIY shaving cream. You can use whatever flowers you’d like for the infusion. As many herbal teas use rosehips, I have used herbal teas for mine since I had them handy. I’d love to try this with fresh flowers too! Orchids would be divine!
- 1 1/2 cups of scented coconut oil, solid (recipe here)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- Mix all together until combined and smooth.
