Homemade Whipped Coconut Oil Cooling Lotion
Ready to beat the heat and ban the burn?
Make this super easy homemade whipped coconut oil cooling lotion. Not only is coconut oil great for so many different reasons, but it also makes an amazing all-natural moisturizer – it’s full of antioxidants and is super hydrating, soothing, and healing when used on skin.
And did you know that when you whip coconut oil, the consistency changes from a clear solid to a luxurious white body butter?! This recipe combines the healing power of coconut oil with the cooling effects of aloe; I also opted to add lavender and peppermint essential oils, but you can use any you prefer (or none at all). That’s what I love about these recipes — you can totally make them based on your preferences!
