Ingredients

4 tablespoons castor oil
2 tablespoons jojoba oil
2 tablespoons liquid coconut oil

Smaller batch option

Use 2 tablespoons castor oil, 1 tablespoon jojoba oil and 1 tablespoon liquid coconut oil. This makes about 2 US fl oz.

Make

Choose liquid/fractionated coconut oil that stays liquid, not melted regular coconut oil. Mix the oils in a clean, dry bowl. Transfer to a clean, completely dry dispensing bottle and close the lid.

Use

Shake before each use. Pour a small amount into your palm, warm it between your hands and gently spread over body skin. This version leaves out the original recipe's optional essential oils.

Keep it dry

Keep the bottle closed, away from heat and sunlight. Do not add water or fresh ingredients. No tested storage lifetime is supplied for this homemade blend.

Container note: the full batch makes about 4 US fl oz; the smaller batch makes about 2 US fl oz. Choose a dispensing bottle with extra room above either amount to close it and shake the blend.

Before you begin

For adult external use. Avoid known ingredient allergies and contact with eyes. Test a small area first and stop if irritation occurs. Oils and oats can make tubs slippery.
