BEST Moisturizer DIY Lotion Recipe Natural Ingredients | Natural Minimalist | Mindful Wellness

[@ConnieRiet]

I fell in love with this body lotion! It is my favorite moisturizing lotion I've ever used.

[@mandy6062]

I have made two batches and when becomes solid again and not whipped. I did whip it a very long time. It’s easy to use still and melts when you use it but I wanted it whipped.

[@jac1797]

The question is does it soak in?

[@lindag5076]

Are you still using this Connie?

[@DSmith-e5e]

WHAT DOES THAT SMELL LIKE?

[@nancylee8030]

I made it. It’s nice but lately I am just using the shea butter with clear aloe Vera gel or with Vaseline mixed in. I just melted the shea butter and dropped in some Vaseline , stir and it’s a warm wonderful moisturizer!

[@sheeba-9851]

After checking out hundreds of reviews, I got this moisturizer by liittleextra riceberry, and this is surely a life-saver. You can see the difference even after the first use. It doesn't leave my skin greasy, my skin feels light and moisturized, compared to others. Thank you God I got my hands on this. And the most amazing thing is it’s suitable for every skin type. This is not at all harsh on the skin. Your face feels silky and you get a natural glow. The texture of the moisturizer is smooth and has no smell. The performance of this is just outstanding. The formulation do not irritate the skin. Go ahead and try it. This is the best moisturizer ever. Just a 10/10.

[@gudgeetika24]

i only use two products on my face: riceberry face serum and rice berry moisturizer. they give me the necessary glow and hydration

[@theessentialpearl]

Hi Connie. Great recipe… I have a similar version I make. I can’t wait to try it! Just a tip I wanted to share. I am a certified essential oil specialist and educator. I wanted to suggest you don’t add the lavender essential oil as heat kills the therapeutic properties. Instead add it once it cools a couple minutes.❤

[@alinashan857]

Plz tell me what should i add in this instead of lavender oil, i have combination skin

[@thereviewer2939]

@@alinashan857 Lavender oil won't do ANYTHING to your skin, don't worry. It's just a nice scent. They're making shit up and pretending to be "specialists and educators " in "science" that doesn't exist. May as well be a unicorn specialist and educator. The fact is, there is no science-based evidence or consensus on EO for any purpose. It just smells nice.

[@CoLeah]

@@alinashan857 she said to add the Lavender oil after letting it cool. Not, don’t add the Lavender oil…

[@donnagrace9900]

This is not lotion it's body butter

[@mommifong]

Thank you I have RA and I trying to put thinks on my body that are all natural. Absolutely no chemicals even the natural one I can’t pronounce

[@lorymontresor1551]

🌷PRECIOUS FACE CREAM : 100 g shea butter, 50 g sweet almond oil, 20 drop of essential oil (optional). Heat the shea butter in a saucepan over a low heat. When it is completely melted and cooled, pour it into a bowl together with the almond oil and essential oil. Mix well with a kitchen whisk (or a teaspoon) and then pour it directly into the jar of your choice, close it and place it in the fridge for an hour, the shea butter will solidify again 💜

[@susanmacaluso5218]

Ha! She made this look so easy and I followed it to the letter. The disclaimer is that if it won't whip and stays runny it must cool completely. Wrong. "Cooling completely" infers leaving it at room temperature, or refrigerating it until it is cool, which does nothing. It has to be "refrigerated until it is solid again", then broken up into pieces, then whipped with a hand mixer," because the immersion blender is a messy joke. The lotion is oily and it gets on everything during the process, because I had to go from the immersion blender to the hand mixer because it doesn't make it smooth enough with the immersion blender. ANYWAY, after all of that I will say that it turned out bright white and beautifully whipped, but, man, oh man! I like that it is pure, but it is a bit greasy. My discovery is that if I pour the melted blend of ingredients into lip gloss pots and refrigerate them until solid, then those are awesome lip balms. Not minimalist, because of all the ingredients to purchase, the pans and jars, refrigeration, kitchen equipment, but at least it is pure. I am glad that I didn't give up on it.

[@gprincess428]

It’s definitely minimal compared to the ingredients in store bought lotion. Most people already have the kitchen equipment needed.

[@cbogan8721]

@@gprincess428 Hand mixer is definitely my go to for whipping butters and you can somewhat reduce the oil ratio to make it less oily. I’d do it in smaller batches so you can gauge the ratios for when you want to do a larger batch. When using less oil in certain amounts it will get much thicker, yet creamy after sitting, so I’d just play around with it. Oh, and when I mix it I put a kitchen towel(any towel) or grocery bag around the top of the bowl in a way to prevent it from sloshing around. Watch out for the covering you choose catching onto the beaters. You can even mix with your finger or a popsicle stick if that’s what you have. And I like to use the container my shea butter comes in then reuse them when I’m making smaller batches and differing ingredients. Less clean up. You’ve got this!!!

[@hazelnutbix]

Made this today. It took a while to get the right temperature for whisking. I put different essential oil combinations in 4 different little pots. My husband was also in the kitchen making chapatis, just wearing shorts and an apron, so instead of wiping my hands on a cloth between making concoctions, I used 4 legs, 4 arms and his shoulders. He said I should make this "stuff" more often! 😅

[@ConnieRiet]

Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing your very cute story. I love it!!

[@LP-pg5xz]

So I think I may have found a solution to the mixture not whipping and staying liquefied. I had the same problem. Had accidentally left it in the freezer a bit too long to cool and it hardened partially, but it whipped beautifully at first and then turned to liquid a moment beyond that. I had to try a few more attempts and it was messy but I found the right consistency. I actually think the problem is a combination of the blender and melting the butters beforehand. I had to let it harden quite a bit and drizzled a bit of olive oil as I was blending. I think if you're using a powerful blender, try placing all the ingredients in the jar and whipping them together without melting them first or melt the coconut oil only. That's what I plan to do next time. Once you get it right, it is luxurious and worth it. Connie you have taught me so much. My hair and skin feels amazing. Thank you!

[@legallyoverton]

Oooh, let it cool a bit before an ice bath so you don’t crack your glass. But this is a gear tut, and this lotion looks so smooth and healthy and moisturizing and I’m trying this!!!!

[@fauzianezam246]

You have a soothing voice. I’ve never made my own moisturizer but somehow I ended up on this part of KZbin and now I feel like I’m part of the cult and I must only move forward making my own

[@Slimfromcaseohsgroccery]

I ran out could not edge for days so I used this recipe

[@christinewilke893]

This is such a great recipe. I wasn’t able to get it thick the first time I made it so I added some bees wax as an emulsifier. I was able to pour it hot right into my food processor and it thickened right up in about a minute.

[@ConnieRiet]

Sounds great!

[@debbielynch6564]

I made this today, and you are absoulutely correct! It is the best, most luxurious cream I have used. Once it melts in, my skin feels like velvet. I love this. It will be my go-to cream now and this winter. Thank you for sharing! I did put it in the freezer for 8 minutes so it was the perfect consistency to whip. I would love for you to share all of your recipes for hand-made products!

[@bambie381]

Hi Debbie , yes I put mine in the fridge and it hardened up . I was so happy ! And I agree , it’s sooooo good , and more recipes Connie , please! Stay well Girls ! ❤️

[@ConnieRiet]

Hi Debbie, I'm thrilled to hear you made the lotion and enjoy it! Great tip about the freezer.

[@ConnieRiet]

Thanks for sharing! I will defiantly make future videos with my other handmade items.

[@eliselange7161]

Hi Connie…nice recipe…just a suggestion…add one teaspoon of hexane free castor oil to your recipe. Castor oil is a humectant and, as long as you don’t add more than 1 to 3% to your formulation, it will speed up absorption and extract moisture from the atmosphere and transport it into your skin ….

[@ConnieRiet]

Great tip! thanks

[@CDGMR1]

I have everything you just used. I can’t wait to make it tomorrow.

[@mwright3349]

Love the technique of using the mason jars to melt and mix!

[@theclem2232]

Loving your videos, loving your kindness, sweetness and smartness 🌸 I have tried your recipe with lots of fear because I have started getting eczema on my hands a few months ago. I have tried everything, parfume/paraffin free baby lotions to expensive pharmacy moisturizers... Either I got allergic reactions or didn't moisture enough and I couldn't stop having my eczema worse. Only Vaseline was partly helpful but not enough. I went to doctor and he gave some sort of steroids liquid but it was only helping when I use it. After 2 weeks, I had to stop using steroids and my eczema came up again. Long in short, your recipe saved my life! No allergic reactions, super moisture and smells amazing. Now I am making my second batch 😊 this time I used less cacao and shea butter less, coconut more to have a softer. Thank you very much ❤️

[@Nae641]

I do it also for years but I don not use any blender, I make a warm water bath mix the ingredients and let them cool down! P.s. you are most beautiful and really calming spirit!

[@debralynfisherpryor7728]

Easy to find ingredients, easy to make, absolutely the best body lotion I’ve ever used! I opted to use orange essential oil. Thank you very much for the recipe.

[@patmaurer8541]

My sister introduced me to your recipe, because I have so many fragrance and plant allergies that I basically go without beauty products. This potion feels light and wonderful, and no irritants! :-)

[@SaraMedina-i3w]

I what can I replace the coconut oil with? Can I use almond oil instead?

[@donnoe1933]

I love this Connie! Ill just have to shake really hard for it to thicken because I don’t want to buy a blender or whisk 😂.

[@marceliam5275]

Amazing! Thank you. Always looking to be 100% natural sans chemicals and pesticides. 🍂🍁🌻😽✨

[@juliannemcdevittthefuchsia433]

Been making this for years from Connie’s recipe. Thank you Connie ! Still struggle with consistency. At what consistency is it time to put it into the jars ? Mine comes out either chunky or too liquidy. Haven’t found happy medium. Like if I put it in still sort of thick liquidy will it harden a bit. Is it a body butter or lotion or cream ? Thanks In advance 🎉

[@HamidaSaleh-g9m]

Thanks a lot for showing us how to make I will try it . Looks really good

[@RC-dj7ec]

Does this absorb into skin well leaving non oily/ greasy feel?

[@janemacfarlane597]

I made this and totally agree that it is amazing. It was simple and the end product is the best I have used. I did a little research on the three products used and you should be able to use it on your face if you don’t have acne issue, according to recent research. So far so good on my skin!

[@ConnieRiet]

Thanks Jane. I'm thrilled that you love it as much as I do.

[@brendawood6712]

I love the smell of coco butter

[@sheilabailey5185]

Great recipe, I use this all the time. I add one more ingredient, arrowroot powder and this takes away the greasiness. Xxx

[@carolwhitfield6330]

Does it have a strong scent without the essential oil? I have issues with strong smells so I’m scared to try or buy lotions because they give me headaches.

[@alondrachavez1855]

Same here.

So good , thank you❤🙏🏼

How long will this keep. Also, can you double or triple recipe? Thanks for sharing.

When you crunch the numbers, about how much does this recipe cost to make? I currently buy my lotions and they get more expensive all the time. Wondering if this is "cheaper"?

Hi Connie! I finally tried this! It took longer than I thought - initially I just let it cool because I wasn’t in a hurry then I did the ice bath, I’m hoping the consistency improves overnight. I will say it smells divine I tried the leftovers from my spoon - lol - thanks for sharing!
