Ingredients

1x
  • 240g infused coconut oil
  • 60ml sweet almond oil or jojoba oil (for better skin slip)
  • 10 drops lavender essential oil
  • 5 drops eucalyptus essential oil (optional)

How to Make It

  1. 1Gently melt infused coconut oil if solid.
  2. 2Mix with sweet almond or jojoba oil for a smoother, less greasy texture.
  3. 3Add essential oils and stir well.
  4. 4Pour into a pump bottle or squeeze bottle.
  5. 5Label with contents and "FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY."

Pro Tips

  • β˜…Sweet almond oil improves skin slip β€” coconut oil alone can be too sticky for massage.
  • β˜…Warm the oil before use by placing the bottle in warm water for 5 minutes.
  • β˜…Store at room temperature to keep it liquid and ready to use.

Serving Ideas

Warm a tablespoon between your palms before applying. Focus on tense areas β€” shoulders, lower back, feet. One portion per massage session.

Substitutions

No Double boiler? Use Slow cooker on low

Set to low/warm for 2-4 hours, stir occasionally

No Double boiler? Use Mason jar in simmering water

Finger-tight lid, simmer for 2-3 hours

No Cheesecloth? Use French press

No Cheesecloth? Use Fine mesh strainer + coffee filter

Slower but effective

Carrier swap guidance

Switch coconut_oil to mct_oil

Flavor: More neutral and less coconut-forward.

Potency handling: Dose handling is similar, but liquid MCT is easier to portion precisely.

Texture: Thinner and better for droppers, capsules, and drinks than for gummies or baking.

Use when you want a pourable oil rather than a semi-solid carrier.
