Lilac Fairy Body Cream

My grandparents have a row of lilac bushes in their back yard and I have many fond childhood memories of making “beds” of lilacs for the fairies living in my grandparents yard. I also remember getting permission for cutting bunches of lilacs so I could take them home with me. I actually cut so many that my mom had to make a rule that we could only take one vase worth of lilacs home.

This body cream was inspired by childhood visits filled with lilacs, grandparents and a little imagination. 🙂 I also wanted to formulate a cream that would be perfect for me to use when I give my grandma a hand massage.

I wanted to give this body a light weight feeling after being applied, so I used Macadamia Nut Oil and Colorless Jojoba to achieve this.

I also wanted drag for this cream when it was being applied so it could be used when giving my grandma a hand massage. I didn’t want lots of drag because her skin is so fragile, but a little drag helps me make her hands feel good. To get the right amount of drag for this body cream, I used Castor Oil, Cocoa Butter and Stearic Acid as all of these ingredients help provide drag in creams.

Weigh all ingredients except the additives (Liquid Germall Plus and Lilac Fragrance) into a microwave safe container. Heat in the microwave using short time bursts until everything is melted. Blend the ingredients to a smooth, creamy consistency using the immersion blender. Add the additives once the temperature drops to approximately 120° F in the mixing bucket. Stir gently until completely mixed. Pour into containers and allow to cool completely before labeling.

Body Cream Notes: This body cream has a light after feel with a little drag when being applied. It takes about 3 minutes to be massaged in completely, but sometimes that is all the time that is needed. I think this is a perfect hand or body cream to use when giving children, parents or grandparents little massages as you talk together.
