Ingredients
- 1 ounce Full-Spectrum CBD oil of CBD isolate (500-1,000 mg) (30 mL)
- 15 drops Peppermint Essential Oil (0.75 mL)
- 10 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil (0.5 mL)
- 3 ounces Cannabis-infused coconut oil (or other carrier oil – 90 mL)
- 2 ounces Aloe Vera Gel (60 mL)
- 2 ounces Sweet Almond Oil (60 mL)

- 10 drops Orange or Lemon Essential Oil for uplifting scent (optional 5 – 10 drops)
- 1 ounce Distilled Water (30 mL)
- 2 tbsp Emulsifying Wax (or beeswax as emulsifier – 24g)
Instructions
Prepare the Lotion Base
- In a double boiler, melt the beeswax and emulsifying wax until completely liquefied.
- Add the sweet almond oil, coconut oil, and aloe vera gel, stirring gently until everything is well blended.
Add Distilled Water
- Slowly add the distilled water into the melted oil mixture, continuing to stir as it emulsifies.
- The water should blend into the oil until it forms a thick, creamy texture.
Incorporate CBD Oil and Vitamin E
- Once the mixture cools slightly, blend in the CBD oil (or CBD isolate) and vitamin E oil for skin nourishment and antioxidant support.
Mix in Essential Oils
- Add the peppermint and eucalyptus essential oils for their invigorating and cooling properties.
- For an additional uplifting effect, add a few drops of citrus oils (such as orange or lemon). Stir well to fully incorporate.
Final Blending and Storage
- Allow the lotion to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, whisk it vigorously or use a hand blender to give it a light, fluffy texture.
- Transfer the lotion into an 8 oz (240 mL) pump bottle or airtight jar to preserve its consistency and potency.
Betsy’s Infusion Notes:
📝CBD Oil: Use CBD oil or CBD isolate depending on the strength you desire for pain relief. For maximum benefits, a full-spectrum CBD oil is recommended as it provides a range of cannabinoids and terpenes.
📝Adjusting Scent: The ratio of peppermint and eucalyptus oils can be adjusted based on preference. For a cooling effect, add more peppermint; for a clearer respiratory benefit, increase eucalyptus.
📝Shelf Life: This lotion should be stored in a cool, dark place and can last up to 6 months.
📝Use: Ideal for use after a deep tissue massage, as it helps relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and leave the skin feeling smooth and moisturized.
📝This lotion offers a calming yet revitalizing experience, perfect for therapeutic settings, with CBD and essential oils working synergistically to promote muscle relaxation, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being.
