Equipment
- Double boiler or heatproof bowl
- Small whisk or hand mixer
- Glass jar or pump bottle (8 oz)
- Measuring spoons and pipette for essential oils
Ingredients
- 2 ounces CBD Oil (Full spectrum or Isolate)
- ¼ tsp Turmeric Powder (organic) (about 1g)
- 1 ounce Emulsifying Wax (30g)
- 2 ounces Shea Butter (60g)
- 2 ounces Coconut Oil (60g)
- 2 ounces Jojoba Oil (60g)
- 10 drops Vitamin E Oil
- 10 drops Lavender Essential Oil
- 5 drops Frankincense Essential Oil
- 2 drops Black Pepper Essential Oil (Optional, helps with turmeric absorption)
Instructions
Prepare the Base
- Melt the Butters and Oils: In a double boiler, combine shear butter, coconut oil, and jojoba oil. Heat until fully melted, stirring occasionally.
Add the Emulsifying Wax
- Add the Emulsifying Wax: Once the oils and butters have melted, add the emulsifying wax to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated. This will create the smooth lotion texture.
Incorporate the Turmeric and CBD
- Add Turmeric Powder: Stir in turmeric powder carefully to avoid clumping. Ensure it's well mixed into the oils.
- Incorporate CBD Oil: Stir in the CBD oil. Make sure it’s fully blended with the other oils.
Add Essential Oils
- Add 10 drops of lavender essential oil, 5 drops of frankincense essential oil, and 2 drops of black pepper essential oil (optional). Black pepper helps increase the absorption of turmeric into the skin.
Cool and Whisk
- Cool the Lotion: Allow the lotion mixture to cool for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the oils from separating.
- Whisk the Lotion: Once the mixture cools down to room temperature, whisk vigorously or use a hand mixer to create a smooth, creamy texture.
Bottle & Store
- Bottle the Lotion: Pour the finished lotion into an 8 oz (240 mL) glass jar or pump bottle for easy use.
Betsy's Infusion Notes:
📝Zero-Staining Formula: This recipe uses turmeric powder in small amounts and incorporates emulsifiers to prevent the lotion from staining the skin or fabrics. The lotion is absorbed quickly into the skin and should not leave stains if used as directed.
📝Turmeric Benefits: Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties can be potent, so only a small amount is needed. Ensure that the turmeric is well blended into the oil base to prevent clumping.
📝Patch Test: As with any topical product, always perform a patch test on a small area of the skin to ensure no irritation or allergic reactions occur, especially if the client has sensitive skin.
📝Storage: Store the lotion in a cool, dry place. The lotion should be good for **6-12 months** when stored properly.
📝CBD Oil: Use full-spectrum CBD oil for enhanced benefits or CBD isolate if you prefer a non-THC option.
📝Therapeutic Benefits
This Zero-Staining Turmeric & Cannabis Joint Ease Lotion is ideal for massage therapists working with clients experiencing joint pain, arthritis, muscle soreness, or general inflammation.
