Kid-friendly DIY hand creams

Using just a few simple ingredients, making hand cream at home can be a fun and relaxing activity for kids, and even more fun for the moms trying to create a natural, chemical-free home for their family. Granny Mouse Country House and Spa beauty experts share some quick and super easy hand lotion recipes, made with all-natural ingredients that will revitalize your hands and make them smooth again. And, all the ingredients can be purchased at the grocery store, so no hunting around for specialist stores!

There are a few basic items you’ll need, as well as some optional essential oils to add fragrance to your liking. Prepare these items ahead of time so when you’re ready to make it, everything is ready for you.

Rose Lotion

Ingredients:

* A lot of other natural homemade lotions have beeswax in them, but this lotion will turn out just fine without it.

Instructions:

  • Shred rose petals into small pieces (this is the most fun part for the kids).
  • Combine shredded rose petals, coconut oil and olive oil in a tall glass jar.
  • Prepare a bowl of hot water and place the Rose Oil jar into the hot water bowl and mix.
  • Keep it in there until the water cools off. (Warming the rose oil will help release the scent from the rose petals.)
  • Use a strainer and let the kids strain the lotion into the allocated lotion container.

Review:

The lotion turns out very smooth and light. It applies to the skin easily and after a little rubbing, sinks in nicely. The skin feels moisturized. You can use it anywhere on your body, even as a lip gloss! It does smell like roses. Lightly. However, the longer you wait before straining the rose petals the more it will smell like roses.

Lavender Lotion

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup of shea butter
  • 1/4 cup of coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup of another oil (avocado oil, almond, jojoba, or even olive oil)
  • 3 tbsp of corn starch
  • 10 drops of Lavender Oil

Instructions:

  • Melt shea butter, coconut oil, and the additional oil of choice on the stovetop until the mixture is liquified.
  • Add the Lavender Oil and put the mixture into the fridge until it has solidified.
  • Combine corn starch and water and add to your mixture.
  • Pour the lotion into containers

Review:

This lotion is thicker but not excessive. The Lavender oil has anti-inflammatory properties that will nurture your skin and leave it feeling fresh. It is also safe enough to be used anywhere on the body.

Storing your hand creams

Your hand creams will stay good on the shelf for as long as three months. Store away from direct sunlight, heat sources or areas of high moisture for best quality.

End.
