Rainbow Magic Lotion - A Hand and Body Lotion.
This is really pretty and feels so good.
In small pan over water melt:
3 Tbsp. safflower oil
1 Tbsp. lanolin
1 Tbsp. cocoa butter
1/3 cup light mineral oil
1 tsp almond extract
In a pint jar place:
2 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. glycerin
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. 70% ethanol alcohol
1 drop food color
To Make This Body Lotion Recipe:
When the oils are cool, add to the pint jar and shake. Divide into 2-6 oz. jars.
In about 1/2 hour the lotion will separate into 3 different layers, each one a
different color. Shake, and it becomes an emulsion; let
stand and it separates again.
This body lotion recipe leaves your skin
feeling and looking radiant. The Rainbow Magic Body Lotion
feels silky-smooth and smells terrific. This body lotion is a lavish and invigorating way
to treat your skin.
It is easy to make an affordable, skin nourishing and pampering bath and body
product. Feel free to substitute or add other essential oils to personalize your
body lotion recipe. The recipe can be left without fragrance
or essential oils can be added for therapeutic benefit.
Creams and lotions are made by combining
oil-based, which provide nourishing properties, and water-based
ingredients to moisturize the skin. Creams and lotions are the
only skin care applications that moisturize and nourish at the
same time.
Here's a quick, inexpensive and easy
packaging idea; Removing labels off empty glass jars. Relish jars, olive
jars and baby food jars all work well. Spray paint the lids with a granite
spray. Hand lotion recipes packaged in a cobalt bottle or a brushed aluminum bottle
always present well. Or, place your almond body lotion recipe in
decorative bottles. For an added touch, write the recipe on a little card
and tie the recipe onto the bottle with ribbon or raffia.
