Step-by-step
- Measure magnesium flakes into a mug.
- Fill another mug halfway with water and microwave on high until it is boiling, about 2-3 minutes. (Alternatively, you can bring water to boil on the stove.)
- Measure 3 Tbsp of boiling water into the mug with the flakes. Stir until the flakes are dissolved and set aside.
- In the quart mason jar, measure coconut oil, beeswax and shea butter.
- Place the jar in a small pan filled with 1 inch of water. Place it on the stove and turn the heat to medium high.
- Allow the solids to melt, swirling the jar occasionally if necessary. (Be sure to wear an oven mitt.)
- When everything inside the jar is melted, remove it from the pan and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Pour the dissolved magnesium into the quart mason jar. If it solidifies upon contact, that’s ok.
- Add essential oils (if using) and place the immersion blender at the bottom of the jar and blend everything together really well, moving the blender up and down along the sides of the jar as necessary to incorporate the ingredients.
- This makes about 8 ounces of lotion. Store at room temperature for up to 2 months.
