Is Making Lotion Right For You?

The shelf life is about 2 months as long as you use the preservative, Neodefend. Since this recipe makes 12 ounces, I like to store most of it in the fridge and keep the rest on my bedside table. That way the shelf life is even more extended. Grapefruit seed extract or citric acid won’t be efficient enough preservatives for a lotion recipe. I’ve done A LOT of experimenting and wasted A LOT of good product.I’ve tried so many other blog’s recipes and even brushed up on my chemistry (my worst subject) just to get the perfect consistency that will work for the hands. Essential oils also prolong the shelf life and they give your cream a scent. They have also been known to reduce redness and puffiness, speed up healing, rev up blood flow and depending on what essential oil you choose, you can see anti aging action as well! I chose lavender because it is calming and healing. I typically use this hand cream at night to help unwind! What is the Shelf Life of Homemade Hand Cream?

Cut out rectangles that are 2.5″ wide and 4.5″ long. I use the measurements on the edge of my bench scraper for this. If you rolled your pie crust thin enough, you should end up with 5–7 rectangles. This DIY hand lotion is very nourishing for the hands.Olive oil is very moisturizing, and contains vitamin A and antioxidants.Lavender soothes, heals and moisturizes while being antiviral and antibacterial.Vitamin E is optional but it is very nourishing as well as a natural preservative.Feel free to mix different essential oilsinto your cream!I add lavender to mine because I love the smell of olive oil mixed with lavender-simply heaven! More Creamy Lotion Recipes: Use a basting brush to apply more egg wash to the top of each pie, then sprinkle a generous amount of the coarse sugar over the tops. If you’d like, this recipe can be cut down into small batches by either cutting the recipe in half or as mentioned above, storing half in the fridge. Depending on how dry your hands are, you may want to add a butter like shea butter, cocoa butter or mango butter to up the moisturizing potential. You can do this by keeping the proportions the same. For example, this recipe calls for 1/4 cup of olive oil. There are 4 tablespoons in 1/4 cup so you could do 2 tbsp. of olive oil and 2 tbsp. of shea butter. This would be a highly emollient hand cream and would be perfect for VERY dry skin. Is Vitamin E & Essential Oils Necessary?

All our perfumes are made in England by expert perfumers and have been designed specifically for The English Soap Company. Pull the plate of cut-outs out of the fridge. Lay one in your palm, and use your finger to spread the egg wash along the edges of the rectangle. Place the cut-out, egg wash side down, over the top of one of the rectangles with piping, lining up the edges as best you can. Press the edges together to seal. Repeat until you’ve formed all the hand pies.

Place the cut-outs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, with about an inch of space between them. Grab your other round of pie dough and repeat steps 4 and 5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned and the filling is beginning to bubble out of the center slit.In lotion making there are 2 phases that are on your stove top at the same time. Once these 2 phases are at a certain temperature, you will add them together, mix them and watch the magic! As a rule of thumb, both mixtures need to be about the same temperature when combined. This temperature is typically around 130-160 degrees.** Strawberries: I developed this recipe with fresh, but frozen – thawed and drained – berries will work. So will your favorite strawberry jam!
