Lemon balm and Jojoba Oil (at last 10oz of oil)
Instructions
Infuse Lemon Balm herbs in Jojoba oil.
Measure out 4 oz of each butter in a glass bowl.
Strain your herb-infused oil in the same glass bowl and add 1/2 cup of herb oil.
Melt the butter using a double boiler method. This time you can add the essential oil, about 40 drops your now liquefied butter.
Place your glass bowl in the fridge or freezer until it’s solidified.
Use a hand mixer to mix (if you forget to add you’re 40 drops of essential oil in the beginning, you can add them during this process).
Add 3 tablespoons of arrowroot powder during this time.
Mix until you get a lotion-like consistency.
Place your DIY lotion in a glass container for storage and use. This recipe can make about 12-13 oz of lotion.
