Homemade Lavender Scented Body Lotion

I originally found this recipe here http://wildfernacres.blogspot.com/2011/01/home-made-body-lotion-recipes.html

But Sabrina wanted something lavender scented so I tweaked Sarah's recipe. Here it is...

Lavender Scented Grape Seed, Sweet Almond and Apricot Oil Body Lotion

Ingredients:

1/8-1/4 tsp (less than 1/4 but more than 1/8) borax powder

½  cup water (use lavender water – simmer lavender buds & stems)

½ cup grape seed oil, ¼ cup sweet almond oil, ¼ cup apricot oil

2 Tablespoons grated beeswax

8-10 drops of lavender essential oil

Directions:

-Mix the borax and hot lavender water, stir until sediments are gone.  

-Mix the oil and beeswax (microwave, or hold bowl with wax and oil over pot of boiling water and stir).

-Pour the water into the blender and while it is on high and add the hot oil in a steady stream. (Try not to spill, what a mess I made!) 

-Blend for 2 minutes until thick and creamy, add essential oil(s) and allow to cool if necessary.  

-(blend a 2^nd time if consistency is not to your liking, and then allow to cool again)

- Put that stuff in a bottle with a cover, and enjoy!

I have to give this recipe a whopping 5/5, because it's great! The lotion is a thick and rich, scrumptiously lavender scented, and doesn't leave a lingering greasy feel on your skin.
