- Once melted, pour the mixture into a stainless mixing bowl. Add the bowl and the mixer beaters to the freezer for 15-20 minutes. **DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP***
- Remove everything from the freezer and beat on medium/high for 3-minutes or until the oil mixture appears cloudy.10 drops Lavender essential oil, 8 drops Peppermint essential oil
- Scrape the sides of the bowl down and add the essential oils. Beat on high until lotion is whipped and fluffy.
Notes
- Do not skip the freezing step. Because this is a lotion and it needs to be whipped, you will need your ingredients cold to do this. Freezing the bowl and the beaters along with the oil mixture helps to keep things colder longer. This will allow your DIY lotion to whip better.
- This recipe makes approx. 12 oz when whipped.
