I love easy DIY recipes because I'm a busy mom and have limited time to make oily products that require many steps or several ingredients.  I love to experiment to find easy solutions that offer better natural alternatives for wellness and provide the benefits that I need, and I love passing these recipes onto you.

Why did I choose to use these two oils?  Besides the fact they come in the PSK, Valor is a blend of several oils that offer beneficial properties for the skin, as well as a scent that aids in emotional support, and is uplifting and empowering.  Frankincense also offers dual benefits.  Together, these two make an excellent choice to use in a DIY lotion.  So, here it is: my newest lotion recipe and I LOVE how soft my skin feels! 

I love the smell of Valor and how I feel more empowered when I use it.  Frankincense is one of my favorite oils for its wonderful skin-improving benefits and for it's calming properties, especially for my anxious feelings. Combining these two oils into this lotion offers two benefits: it softens my skin and improves my mood!

Soothingly Soft Moisturizing Lotion Recipe - What You Need

• Glass jar or container 
• Valor Essential Oil
• Frankincense Oil
• Alba Botanica Very Emollient Unscented Lotion

For this recipe, I used a 4 oz glass jar.  There are so many options on Amazon, or you can repurpose a baby food jar or mason jar.  If you want to make these and give as gifts or samples, here are a few glass container suggestions:

1.) Best set that offers a variety of sizes including a smaller size to keep in your purse or for traveling: 6 piece variety pack Amber Glass cosmetic containers or in a larger variety size pack: 12 pack clear glass with white lids, variety pack

2.) Best set for making this recipe to share! 4 oz clear glass jars with labels and mini spatulas

3.) Cobalt Blue Glass Cosmetic Jars- because they are soo pretty!  12 pack 4oz Cobalt Blue Glass Cosmetic Containers

4.) Pretty Glass Lotion Jars with a unique shape - Great for Gift Giving and Sharing! Set of 12 Glass Cosmetic Jars with Rose Gold Lids

Unscented Lotion- I personally love using this lotion because it's non-greasy, absorbs quickly, and mixes well with essential oils.  I've been using this lotion for over 3 years and personally prefer it over other brands that I've tried.  And, its priced really low right now, so grab it at this amazingly low price before the price goes back up!  Alba Botanica Very Emollient Unscented Lotion 32 oz

Recipe Instructions

Add 4 drops of Valor* and 2 drops of Frankincense for every ounce of lotion.   

For a 4 ounce container,

• Pump lotion into the container until it's 3/4 the way full.  Then add:
• 16 drops Valor and 8 drops Frankincense oil
• Use a glass or plastic stir (I use a plastic chopstick) to mix the essential oils into the lotion until they are well incorporated.  Pump more lotion to fill the container almost all the way to the top and gently stir to fully incorporate.  
• *If you want a stronger scent, add more drops of Valor.

That's it!  It's ready to use!  I suggest using it within 2-3 months.  

I use a plastic chopstick to stir the oils to incorporate into the lotion.  I love the look of the swirling blue from the tansy oil in Valor as it mixes with the white lotion.
