2.In a separate container, heat the distilled water until it reaches about 170°F (76°C).
3.Slowly pour the hot water into the melted wax and oil mixture while whisking continuously. Keep whisking until the mixture becomes creamy and starts to thicken.
4.Add the vitamin E acetate and any essential oils you want to use. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
5.Allow the lotion to cool completely before transferring it to a jar or bottle. Store in a cool, dry place.
Note: This recipe makes a thick, creamy lotion. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can adjust the amount of water used. Also, be sure to use a reliable preservative if you plan to store the lotion for more than a few days.
