Lightweight Spring Body Lotion

What conditions it helps with:

• Daily all-over spring body moisture

Why this is a great DIY recipe: As temperatures rise, heavy winter butter feels suffocating. This spring lotion provides essential moisture in fast-absorbing formula. The high oil-to-butter ratio creates fluid texture. This concentrated oil-based formula lasts 8-12 hours because nothing evaporates—just pure nourishing ingredients. Most users find this becomes their daily spring-through-summer staple.

Ingredients:

• Shea oil: 100ml (2/5 cup + 1 tablespoon)

• Baobab oil: 75ml (1/3 cup)

• Palm kernel oil: 50ml (3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon)

• Virgin coconut oil: 25ml (1.5 tablespoons)

• Raw shea butter: 30ml (2 tablespoons)

• Vitamin E oil: 5ml (1 teaspoon)

Instructions:

1. If shea butter or coconut oil are solid, gently warm in double boiler until melted

2. Remove from heat immediately

3. Add all other oils to warm melted butters

4. Stir vigorously for 90 seconds

5. Pour into pump or squeeze bottle

6. Allow to cool—mixture may thicken slightly

7. Shake before use

8. Apply to damp skin after showering

Customization Ideas:

• Add 15-20 drops essential oil blend for personal scent

• Increase palm kernel oil to 70ml for faster absorption in humidity

• Create whipped version by refrigerating then whipping
