DIY Calming Sleep Lotion
This relaxing sleep lotion is thick and creamy and smells amazing. Use it before bed as part of a calming bedtime routine.
Servings: 8 ounces
Equipment
- Stand mixer (or hand mixer)
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup shea butter (or mango butter)
- ¼ cup cocoa butter
- 1 tsp vitamin E oil (optional)
- 20 drops cedarwood essential oil (10 drops for kids)
- 20 drops lavender essential oil (10 drops for kids)
Instructions
- Add the coconut oil, shea butter, and cocoa butter to a double boiler. You can also use a heat-safe glass bowl on top of a pot filled halfway with water.
- Heat, stirring occasionally until melted.
- Add the vitamin E oil if using and the essential oils. Stir to combine.
- Immediately pour into a stand mixer bowl or mixing bowl and let cool completely. I put mine in the fridge to harden.
- Once hardened, use the whisk attachment to whip until it’s fluffy and creamy.
- Store in a glass jar in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
Notes
To use: apply a small amount to the feet and/or legs. This lotion will last at least 12 months if stored properly and used with clean hands.
