Frankincense Lavender Body Cream Recipe

Sep 29, 2016

Here is an easy recipe for a body cream that I made my mom. She was looking for something less “greasy” than the body butters, but more creamy than a lotion. She also asked that it contain two specific essential oils: Frankincense & Lavender. It turned out great and so I share the recipe with you guys.

Back story, if you're interested (if not, skip to the recipe below):

My mom has been applying Frankincense Essential Oil directly to her chest for about two months. Twice a day she generously applied the oil directly to her skin to help reduce wrinkles, age spots and sun spots. At the age of 58, with decades of sun-tanning under her belt, she was skeptical that the Frankincense Oil would do anything for her skin.

Well, two months down the road she’s amazed at the results. Not only has her skin firmed up, making the creases/wrinkles smooth out but the sun/age spots have reduced by a good 50%. She’s so happy about the tighter skin that she says she can wear regular shirts now without being embarrassed. Personally, I’m more impressed with how her sun/age spots have faded away.

She figured that since the Frankincense Oil has been working magic on her skin, maybe a Frankincense cream would be even better. That is how this recipe was born…
