Betsy's Infusion Notes:
📝 Chamomile Infused Oil: To make your own chamomile-infused oil, simply steep dried chamomile flowers in a carrier oil (such as olive oil or coconut oil) for 1-2 weeks in a sunny window, shaking daily.
📝 Consistency: If you prefer a thicker lotion, add a little more beeswax or shea butter. If it’s too thick, adjust with more coconut oil or aloe vera gel for a lighter consistency.
📝 Storage: This lotion should last for about 6 months when stored properly in a cool, dark place.
📝 Customization: You can substitute lavender essential oil with roman chamomile for a deeper chamomile scent, or experiment with other calming oils like bergamot or sandalwood for a different aromatic experience.
This Chamomile Comfort Lotion is perfect for professional massage therapists looking to provide clients with a calming, soothing, and skin-nourishing experience. Ideal for sensitive skin, it offers both therapeutic and aesthetic benefits, helping to ease tension, reduce inflammation, and deeply hydrate the skin.
