Super uber duber thick, Moisterizing Lotion!!

I have been using this lotion and tweaking it for sometime.........but to be honest when a very very dear and close friend of almost 20 years, asks you for help in making lotion for him to help his skin through a secondary cancer. you DO IT!  Chemo will suck out any and all moisture from your skin and is uber drying!   On top of that, their daughter is having skin issues due to stress and eczema. She was bathing in it. (UPDATE: since this was posted, tests have come back that their precious, 23 year old beautiful daughter is fighting the same type of Hodgkins Lymphoma that her dad was diagnosed 20 years ago.  She will begin chemo soon.  Please pray for them!  We love them so much.  The itching is a side effect of that disease!) (ANOTHER UPDATE:  Both The father and the daughter have been declared cancer free!  We are thankful for the Lord's healing and blessings!!)  Well not quite, but it helped her tremendously! THEN for me.......it's winter and my skin is so so dry like everyone else's......so a digging I went......and searching!

After making this several times with several batches..........here are some "tweaks" to the original recipe........

The original is here but I will ** my comments, additions etc. I put mine in a jar like this one from Walmart.  I doubled this recipe!

Ingredients

• ½ cup almond or olive oil (**I used olive oil.  It's what I had on hand)
• ¼ cup coconut oil (**I get my EVCCO from Sam's club)
• ¼ cup beeswax (**I used fresh, local)
• 1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil (**I definitely added this. Probably a little more than this!)
• 2 tablespoons Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Mango (**I DID ALL THREE of these to make an uber creamy, THICK lotion.)
• essential oils: because of what we are dealing with, healthwise of my dear friend, we chose lavender and Frankincense.  I did about 10 or so drops of each.
• 1 tbsp or a little more of aloe vera gel (**my addition, super healing)
• ** another addition: 1-2 droppers of candeula infused oil

Instructions

**dedicate a set of dishes etc to using with beeswax because anything that comes in contact with it, you cannot use it for food!

I melt my butters and beeswax in an old coffee can, on about 300-325.  While I am doing that, I put everything else in a plastic, throw away container.  Once the wax/butters have melted and cooled a bit, add them to the others.  Put outside (if it's winter) or in a fridge for a little while until it's partially hardened/solid.  Whip it up with a hand mixer (I have a handmixer, and the beaters are SOLELY for my lotions, beeswax etc).  You may have to put it in the fridge again until it's a whipped butter almost.  It should look like whipped cream!  Then transfer to the jar and enjoy!  Warning......a LITTLE bit goes a looooooooong long way.......so use sparingly.......but it's just a lot amazing!
