Equipment
Ingredients
½ cup aloe vera gel
1 cucumber
½ cup coconut oil (organic)
½ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Juice or blend 1 cucumber until it is a very smooth puree. Add to a mixing bowl with 1/2 cup aloe vera gel and stir to combine.
- Add 1/2 cup coconut oil and 1/2 cup olive oil to a saucepan and heat gently until just liquefied. This will only require slight heat, just enough to melt the coconut oil so you can blend it with the olive. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Pour the cooled coconut and olive oil very slowly into a blender. Emphasis on very slowly, in a similar way to making mayonnaise. You will end up with a smooth cream.
- Slowly pour the thickened oil cream into the Cucumber and Aloe Vera. Stir gently until just combined. Pour the lotion into a clean and preferably sterilized cosmetic jar.
Notes
- Store the cream in the fridge
- Refrigerated it will last for up to a month
- You can add 1 or 2 drops of Vitamin E oil to help it last longer
