Citrus Ginger Body Oil

I love the feel of a nice, smoothing body oil as it glides across my skin. This is a mixture of oil and water so it's even better than a lotion since it contains only goodies that your skin will drink in. It's also better than body oil alone, which it sometimes difficult to massage into the skin unless it is damp from bathing. It's rich and delicious and the only emulsifier is you!

Yield: 8 ounces
Prep Time: Approx. 10 minutes
Price Category: 1
Difficulty Level: 1
Shelf Life: 3 months

Ingredients:
2 ounces sweet almond oil
1 ounce jojoba oil
1 ounce liquid shea butter
1 ounce meadowfoam seed oil
1 teaspoon Vitamin E
3 ounces distilled water
20 drops ginger essential oil
30 drops lemon essential oil
10 drops lime essential oil
10 drops bergamot essential oil
20 drops sweet orange essential oil

Blending Procedure:

Combine the essential oils in a small glass vial and allow them to mellow for a few weeks. (This step is optional but will enhance the aroma of the finished product.)
Place all ingredients in an 8 ounce flip top plastic bottle or a glass bottle. You can use either but since plastic slowly absorbs essential oils glass is a better choice. On the other hand, it''s easier to dispense the product using a flip top plastic bottle that you can squeeze.
Label and store in a dark place in the bathroom, away from direct sunlight. To use, simply shake well to emulsify the ingredients, then apply to your skin. Feel how smooth and silky it is! You may need to rest a bit before putting on your clothes so you don''t stain them with the oils, but the feel of your skin after using this product makes it worth the wait. Enjoy!
