Making your own coconut based lotion
You know that I love coconut oil. You can use it for just about anything. I’ve tried the oil pulling (love it) and I’m experimenting other recipes with coconut oil.
With the dry air right now, I feel as though my skin is going to just crack. I was putting melted oil on my hands and face and it’s been helping, but I wanted to know if there was a simple lotion I could make using coconut oil.
There is!
I cannot find the source for this lotion recipe, but this lotion is another two-ingredient “recipe” you use for your skin. It works wonders and even if I miss a day, my skin is still super soft.
You need to make this-you can thank me later.
Homemade Coconut Oil Lotion
What you need:
- 1 c.Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
- 1 t. Vitamin E-use a couple of capsules
- Hand mixer
- Bowl
Do not use a stand mixer unless you want to do alot of cleaning. Just portion out ingredients and add to mixing bowl. Mix for about 7 minutes.
Congrats-you just made a simple lotion with lots of benefits for your skin!
I put mine in a jar that I got from Hobby Lobby. It works great for storing it on your counter with your other beauty aids.

I’m so in! I have started putting coconut oil on my feet under socks at night. I think it makes a huge difference. So to add better stuff to it is just icing on the cake.
Mar 17, 2014 @ 16:40:47
Oooh, and I bet this would be so good for my poor cracked heels! I don’t have coconut oil, but I think I can get some pretty easily!
Mar 17, 2014 @ 16:43:26
I’ve used Coconut oil for so many different stuff like cooking, hair conditioner, and my skin. I’ll need to try out your recipe, it looks so simple!
Mar 17, 2014 @ 17:16:59
I love using coconut oil for beauty, it really does work wonders
Mar 17, 2014 @ 19:36:31
I’ve heard about using coconut oil to make organic deodorant too. It seems to be good for a lot of things.
Mar 17, 2014 @ 22:54:17
I will save money. Thank you for this I have been paying 15 plus a bottle!
Mar 18, 2014 @ 00:12:50
Where do you get the Vitamin E capsules? I love making my own lotions and soaps.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 07:03:28
Looks simple enough to make. Will have to get some of those capsules.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 07:11:50
I recently orders some coconut oil on Amazon.com. I love it to saute veggies in. There are so many great uses for coconut oil. I know Kirstie Alley swears by it for removing her makeup. This lotion you created looks wonderful!
Mar 18, 2014 @ 08:32:40
I am totally obsessed with this idea! Thanks for sharing this idea!! Totally looking to try this one!
Mar 18, 2014 @ 09:32:45
I just bought coconut oil for the first time last week. I used it to fry an egg and LOVED it. No overwhelming coconut taste. The possibilities are endless with this stuff!
Mar 18, 2014 @ 09:49:27
That is super easy, is this an overnight treatment or can you use it throughout the day. I am only concerned about touching everything after applying it and leaving a film.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 09:58:12
I’ve been wondering how to make my own lotion. Thanks so much. Bookmarking for later use.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 10:16:05
I just recently started using coconut oil hair products and love them. I’ve also seen quite a few recipes utilizing coconut oil. I’m loving it! Thanks for sharing how to make your own lotion.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 10:29:12
Interesting. Might give this a go for my daughter’s super dry skin.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 10:46:12
Wow. That is so simple! I bet you could add a few drops of essential oil too. Thank you. I am going to make a batch of this!
Mar 18, 2014 @ 11:48:07
This sounds great, and seems like it would smell amazing! Thanks!
Mar 18, 2014 @ 11:57:49
The smell of coconut is so nice. I love the way it makes my skin feel too. I never thought of making my own (Kim)
Mar 18, 2014 @ 12:10:06
I am so into coconut oil. I use it for healing and have also made my own toothpaste with it. The problem was, I couldn’t spit it down the sink because it would harden and block the drains.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 13:28:13
This would have been perfect for a spa party that I recently hosted. I love the fact that it is homemade.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 13:29:48
I”ve never made just coconut oil lotion before – I usually use shea butter, coconut oil, and sweet almond oil, whip it up and it makes a nice fluffy cream that works great!
Mar 18, 2014 @ 13:50:39
I have been researching coconut oil. We are going to be buying some and trying a few of the various ways to use it.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 15:49:54
This sounds like a great lotion recipe. I still have half a jar left over from a review that I just did. I think I am definitely going to be making some lotion with the remainder now!
Mar 18, 2014 @ 17:13:07
Very cool I had no idea you can make your own lotions.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 17:50:11
I like the simplicity. I also love the coconut smell. I am sure the will be amazing to use.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 19:11:14
Well that was simple! I have heard so many people lately raving about coconut oil and all of the benefits both internally and externally. I will definitely be giving this a try.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 20:23:58
I am so trying this. With all this winter weather this year, my skin is so try. thanks for sharing!
Mar 18, 2014 @ 21:03:54
I have never thought about making my own lotion. Cool!
Mar 18, 2014 @ 21:48:11
I’ve been looking at different uses for coconut oil. It’s so cool that there are so many amazing things you can do with it.
Mar 18, 2014 @ 22:10:53
I have all this stuff in the house, so I just might try this out!
Mar 18, 2014 @ 23:05:40
I have been thinking about trying something like this. Thanks for sharing this idea and inspiration
Mar 18, 2014 @ 23:44:24
I just made some of this the last week. So helpful for dry skin. I garden alot so it’s helped keep my skin looking great
Mar 19, 2014 @ 05:23:13
I love this! I would love to make my own lotion but figured it would be super hard, not so much and I am going to be making some soon!
Mar 19, 2014 @ 09:25:54
I have never tried oil pulling but have heard that I should. This sounds like a great lotion recipe. I think I’ll have to try it!
Mar 19, 2014 @ 10:57:39
Oh I most definitely have to give this a try. I love coconut based products. I remember growing up in the Caribbean they used coconut oil for almost everything.
Mar 19, 2014 @ 12:33:45
I have everything I need at home to make this!! Can’t wait to try it out!
Mar 19, 2014 @ 12:39:41
I use coconut oil daily and for different things like cooking and in my hair. I have found however using it as a lotion does not work for me because of the extreme winter.
Mar 19, 2014 @ 19:45:01
Thank you SO much for this tutorial on how to make coconut oil lotion. We have some coconut oil and haven’t figured out what to use it for! We go through lotion like crazy, so I know what we’ll be making now!
Mar 19, 2014 @ 20:04:59
This sounds like it’d be great for the cracks on my feet/ankles! Thanks for sharing
Mar 19, 2014 @ 21:15:29
Wow! What a wonderful organic homemade lotion! I haven’t thought of that. I remember my Mom used to extract real coconut milk and apply it to our hair. It makes the hair soft and smells so good!
Mar 19, 2014 @ 23:44:01
This is a good trick to use – thanks for sharing!

What the heck i just read? The initial matter is
to consult with the physician prior to using this supplement.
The extract of Yacon Syrup is available in the
form of capsules and tablets and consulting a health care professional can provide you a
very clear understanding of the truth that will it fit your needs or not.
This supplement typically suits the requirements of the men and women but exclusions are usually there.
So, it is advisable to be sure you aren’t normally the one which could not use this product.
Another important thing is regarding the amount. It is advisable to question your doctor concerning the absorption and be specific about it authentic Yacon Syrup.
WOW.Nice read here. The actual factor to precisely how
this supplement gets results is it is actually a
dual-action diet supplement, and therefore it operates as
an appetite suppressant plus a “fat burner”. This
really ensures that it oxidizes your fat cells through the use of anti-oxidants, and that ends up with
additional strength for you – but only if know how to use authentic Yacon Syrup in the right style.Virtually all diet solutions currently available are made all over reving up
your metabolic process, which can be simply not healthy for many – and
that is why many folks decide to buy Yacon Syrup extract instead.
Jul 05, 2014 @ 10:39:42
Your style is very unique compared to other folks I’ve read stuff
from. Thank you for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I will
just book mark this page.

Did not thought about this until now :)Yacon Syrup
Extract inhibits the pancreatic from breaking down starch into maltose and
dextrin. It also ends the generation of alpha-amylase nutrients in the overall body.
Medical practitioners usually advocate this to their patients who are diabetes patients because the
Yacon Syrup stops the creation of alpha-glucosidase located in the digestive system from transitioning disaccharides and starches into sugar.
Yacon Syrup benefits also reduces glucose and
carbohydrates from converting into excess fats by stopping the growth of citrate lyase.
Some health professionals use Garcinia as a laxative to help with congestion or other overall health functions such as fat loss, stress reliever, sadness,
mood swings and as a help to getting a wonderful night rest.
Jul 06, 2014 @ 16:11:18
What the heck i just read? The very first factor
is to consult the physician in advance of making use of this
supplement. The extract of Garcinia Cambogia is obtainable in the
form of pills and tablets and contacting a doctor will
give you you a transparent perception of the fact
will it fit you or not. This product commonly meets
the needs of all of the persons but exceptions are usually
there. So, you have to just be sure you are definitely not the one who cannot make use
of this item. Another problem is concerning the dose.
You have to question your physician concerning the consumption and be specific about this authentic Garcinia Cambogia.
WOW.Nice read here. The genuine step to how
this supplement gets results is it is really a
dual-action diet supplement, and therefore it works as an appetite
reducing drug as well as a “fat burner”. This actually shows that it
oxidizes your fat skin cells by using anti-oxidants, and also results in even more vitality for yourself – but only when you know how taking authentic Garcinia Cambogia in the correct manner.The majority
of diet goods currently available were created around reving up your metabolic rate, which is certainly simply not safe for many – and this is
the reason why more and more are deciding to buy Garcinia Cambogia extract instead.

Hi I am so excited I found your website, I really found you by error, while I

Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough
time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Jul 07, 2014 @ 04:12:41
Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty
quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start.
Do you have any points or suggestions? With thanks
