This recipe is very similar to the one you'll find over at Homemade Mamas

Body Butter/Lotion

¾ C oil (this one is canola oil)

3Tbsp bees wax (I like using the pellets for this, they melt easily)

1 C cool water (original recipe calls for distilled.  I just used tap water)

Optional essential oil for fragrance

In microwave safe dish, warm oil and bees wax only until melted, overheating makes the lotion take a LOT longer since it thickens as it cools. 

Pour water into a blender with essential oil and blend.  Slowly add in oil mixture.

Blend until creamy and no more water sits at the top when the blender is stopped. 

Once cool, spoon into a dish to store it.  If water rises to the surface of the lotion later on, just pour it off.  The lotion will still work just fine.

Sadly, cleaning your blender is going to be a rather unfun part of this; Lots of soapy hot water and some patience.  I had a little luck using steel wool to wipe everything down. 

The next time I make this, I’ll have to post pictures of the process.
