Elbow and Knee Lotion

Recipe by Anne-Marie Faiola

This is a cross between a crème and a lotion. It can be placed in a jar or in a squeezable bottle. It will leave hands oily for ten or fifteen minutes so it's not recommended for hands if you're actively working, reading or playing sports as it will leave oil marks. It is designed to be super moisturizing for your elbows and knees.

3.0 oz. Cetearyl Alcohol/Ceteareth 20
0.3 oz. Beeswax
0.5 oz. Cocoa butter
1.0 oz. Liquid glycerin
1.5 oz. Sweet almond oil
1.3 oz. Jojoba
0.5 oz. Evening Primrose oil
3.5 oz. Aloe Vera gel
3.5 oz. Distilled water
0.12 oz. Phenonip preservative or GermabenII
Optional: fragrance or essential oil, 0.10 to 0.25 oz.

1. Add the Cetearyl Alcohol/Ceteareth 20, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and Jojoba to either a double boiler or microwave safe cup.
