Use as a daily body lotion for dry skin. Good for the entire family including babies!

Melt the grapeseed oil and the beeswax together on low heat. Allow it to slightly cool down before mixing it with the floral water and distilled water. Blend on high until it's well mixed, add in the essential oils. Mix again until oils are blended in thoroughly. Store in a nice container. Lotion will keep for several months.
