This is MY favorite recipe. There are tons of recipes on the web. You may have to try a few to find the one that you love, or make some tweaks. but I encourage you to keep at it until you find the recipe you love. That's how I actually got this recipe, I started with one I got from a friend and made changes to fit my liking.
This is a wonderful moisturizing lotion. It melts into an oil once it is applied to your body but soaks in rather nicely. I like to use it before bed. I started using this recipe last fall and this is the first winter in a looooong time that I haven't had cracked dry heals.
Here are the list of ingredients:
1/4 Cup Cocoa Butter
1/4 Cup Shea Butter
1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
1/4 Cup Almond Oil
10 Drops Vitamin E Oil
7-10 Drops Lavender Essential Oil ( I use Young Living)
7-10 Drops Frankincense Essential Oil (I use Young Living)
2 Tablespoons Corn Starch
Directions- First I create a double boiler by placing a metal bowl into a pan that has a little bit of water in it. I make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl once it is placed on top. Bring the water to a boil to heat the bowl and place the ingredients above into the bowl (up to the Almond Oil). Remove the pan from the heat and sit it aside to wait for your ingredients to melt slowly. You do not want the temperature to get too hot.
Once all ingredients are melted remove the bowl and allow it to begin cooling. Once the bottom of the bowl is cool to the touch, I usually place the bowl into the freezer for a few minutes to speed up the process. Remove it from the freezer when it looks like this:
It will be just beginning to harden around the edges of the bowl. At this point you will want to add the rest of the ingredients. and mix them together. I use either a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
I used a hand mixer for this batch.
once the ingredients have been combined place the bowl back into the freezer until the mixture is more solid but not so much that it has become hard. At this point you will want to begin mixing. This is where a stand mixer is nice because the more you mix, the fluffier it will become. 
mix......... mix................. mix until you get it nice and fluffy. This will take a while. Put it into a container that has a lid. It will be a little soft at first because it is a little warm from all of the mixing but it will stiffen up once it has cooled back down to room temperature. I like to put mine in a small glass container and give them as gifts but you can use anything you may have around the house too. I found this glass container at TJ Maxx for next to nothing. I really hope you enjoy this as much as I do. If you have any questions let me know!
