Coconut Cream Lotion Recipe

The coconut cream lotion recipe that I use was created because all of the store bought lotions were expensive. They also had something in them that made me break out after shaving. I have no idea why but I would have red bumps. I tried three different lotions. Then I decided I could make my own for less. I could control what was in there and even the scent of the lotion. The best part is it ended up being so luxurious and inexpensive that I had to share it with you. I am sure there are other people who have this same issue or maybe you just want a product that you make and can control what is in it. I love essential oils so I make this base and then I just add my favorite essential oil scent. I am actually addicted to different scents and the brand of essential oils I buy are very reasonable and you can make everything from cleaning products to lotions.
