Lavandin Body Lotion

Just as my impending exams attempted to steamroller right over me, I found myself in great need of a small moment of personal time. I mean, really what girl should do without some soothing and much-needed pampering? Especially considering I had to do without my traditional holiday break this year. I am living in China at the moment. My time off didn’t come until after the new year.

As I reached around attempting to collect things for a much needed personal moment, I found I had a scant tablespoon of lotion left. Me! Of all people! How does such a tragedy happen? I knew I immediately needed to make some lotion. Unfortunately that meant my spa moment was put off. Come join me as we rectify my bare vanity table!

First, I want to have Shea Butter in this formulation. Shea Butter is exquisite! I will admit, I am a personal fan and it is one fixed oil I always have in my cupboard. Shea Butter always seems to go the extra mile and it’s a wonderful ingredient to put on any label. It is one everyone recognizes and has given a value.

I also wanted to use wheat proteins. While this additive may have an initial funky smell to it, I find it is worth it! Wheat protein is a luxurious ingredient. It adds a smooth tactile property that I have found fairly unrivaled in many other ingredients. I mean wouldn’t you want to give any lotion a little something extra to make your skin feel good? I know I do!

I also chose to add olive oil to my formulation. You’re probably wondering why olive oil? Well, I chose olive oil because how easily accessible it is to most people. Most of us can pick it up at our local grocery store and/or have it in our kitchen. How simple is that?

The last ingredient I wanted to talk with you about is Rice Bran. Rice Bran is a personal and staff favorite for massage oils. It is also awesome in lotions! I will admit this is an under-used and easily dismissed oil. Well, no longer! Try some Rice Bran in your next formulation!
