Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for a recipe to make a lotion bar or cream with aloe, and other ingredients, that would be refreshing after a day in the sun and wind. I don't want to use any beeswax or soy in it or for it to be greasy and to just have a light fragrance appropriate for a man or woman.
I'm making it for a skiiing friend.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Aloe is water based and wouldn't mix with butters/oils without an emulsifier and a preservative. You could make a light lotion. I've posted a recipe here for one. I'm sure if you search for it, you will find it.

When I lived in FL we always just used plain aloe. It feels wonderful on sun & wind-burned skin.

Ah...I misread the Aloe Butter product description on WSP. It is just aloe extract and coconut oil.
I don't think it would be worth it.

Hi Wintermoon,
Thank you for your suggestions.

I'm going to give the Aloe Vera Butter with a Candelilla Wax
a try to make a lotion bar. I also found a lotion recipe with an emulsifier and a preservative.
Lotion Bar:
.75 oz wt Candelilla Wax
1 oz wt White Cocoa Butter
.75 oz wt Shea Butter, Refined
.75 oz wt Aloe Vera Butter (FNWL)

Glad I could help.

Being allergic to aloe, I've never used it in anything, but it seems to be everywhere and I get requests from people all the time to put aloe in my soap. I obviously have to tell them no.
