In December of 2014, I made homemade hand lotion. I have made it a few more times since then, and then I sort of dropped out of the homemade version and started buying it. I made the lotion for gifting for Christmas that year. To be honest, I don't remember if anyone ever let me know if they liked it or not either. I used orange essential oil it it at the time.
By the way, the link still works on that post (linked above). She shares a recipe with or without a preservative. If you want to gift it, I do suggest the preservative. If I remember correctly, I actually made two different recipes.
Anyway, the one linked in my older blogpost is super easy to make. Be sure to read the instructions on her website, and to let it sit overnight.
I made a batch the other day, and just used a recycled jar and canning jar, but with solid closing lids. I just haven't bought lotion pump for it yet. I chose to use lemon essential oil this time around.
Do you have a favorite homemade hand lotion recipe? Or do you prefer to just buy an organic brand at the store?
