Ginger Body Cream

The ginger in this homemade lotion invigorates while the oil soothes.

Ingredients

  • 2-inch piece of fresh ginger
  • 2 tsp. light sesame oil
  • 2 tsp. apricot kernel oil
  • 2 tsp. vitamin E oil
  • ½ C. cocoa butter

Directions

Finely grate the ginger into a small bowl. Squeeze the freshly grated ginger so that you have about an 1/8 tsp. of ginger "juice." Place the ingredients (including the grated ginger) in a pan and gently heat just until the cocoa butter is melted and the oils are blended. Pour into a clean, dry container and store in a cool dry place.
