- 1/2 cup almond oil
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup beeswax (I grated mine with a cheese grater)
- 1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil
- A couple of drops of Calming the Child essential oil (you could use lavender if you prefer)
- 8 oz. storage container (I used a mason jar)
- Combine ingredients in a pint sized or larger glass jar. I used a smooth mason jar that I found at Target.
- Fill a medium saucepan with a couple inches of water and place over medium heat.
- Cover the jar loosely with lid and place in saucepan.
- The ingredients will start to melt as the water heats. Shake or stir occasionally to incorporate. Once all ingredients are completely melted, pour into your storage container. This is what it will look like:
- Let lotion cool and solidify before using. (I placed mine in the fridge)
- Use as you would regular lotion.

Thanks! I want to make this for my 18-month-old, Henry. His face is a bit chapped and when I put store-bought baby lotion on it, I think it stung him a little! 🙁
Mancy says
Can you put this in a travel pump container?
Jessi Fearon says
Hi Mancy! It will probably be too thick for a pump container. I haven’t tried it so it may be work but I personally think it’ll be too thick. :-/
Sherri says
Hi, if I use olive oil instead if almond oil will it still moisturize the same? Thank you
Jessi Fearon says
It should but I haven’t tried it to give you a definite.
