UBUNTU WOMEN

Body Lotion

• 1 cup Grapeseed oil or Sweet Almond oil
• ¼ cup Mango Butter or Shea Butter
• 18g Beeswax (grated or pellets)
• 10 drops Myrrh
• 10 drops Geranium
• 30 drops Cedarwood
• ¾ tsp vitamin E oil (optional)

1. Add the Grapeseed oil, Mango Butter and the Beeswax to a bowl.
2. Fill a pot 1/3 full of water, place it on the stove and then perch the bowl on top of it.
3. Set the stove to a medium heat, stirring the mixture occasionally with a metal spoon until all the ingredients are melted.
4. Remove the bowl from the heat with a kitchen towel and allow to cool until the mixture just begins to set (will resemble the consistency of honey) before adding the essential oils and vitamin E if you are adding it to the recipe.
5. Mix it all together with a spoon.
6. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and put it in the fridge to cool for +- 20-30 mins, the mixture should become opaque and be firm but not solid in texture. If it is too hard you won’t be able to whip it.
7. Using an electric stick mixer or beater mix it until it is white and creamy.
8. Transfer the finished lotion to the bottle and store it in a cool, dry place. This lotion has a shelf life of about 12 months, especially if vitamin E oil is used.
