1 cup aloe pulp – about 2 large leaves
1 orange, zested
1/4 – 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
2-3 capsules vitamin E
optional* 3-4 drops favorite essential oil
For a cream, more lotion like consistency as opposed to a gel, add:
- 1 tbsp shea butter or cocoa butter
- 1 tsp beeswax , grated or pellets
Glass jars for storing or silicone ice cube tray
Once you make it once, tweek the recipe to make it what you like!

Instructions:

In a small double boiler, melt beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil, on low heat, whisking constantly
Mean while, on your cutting board, trim the side spines off aloe leaves
Carefully take you knife and split the two sides of the leaves apart, exposing the inner pulp
Use a spoon to remove the pulp – it will be sticky
Add the aloe pulp into the food processor (or blender) and blend until smooth
While the food processor (or blender) is on, slowly add the melted oil and wax mixture to the aloe…
ADD IT VERY SLOWLY, about 1 tbsp at a time
- If you add the mixture too fast, the cream will get clumpy. No big deal, just melt it down again and whisk.
- Even if it clumps a little bit, it’s still good to use. You can modify your next recipe!
Add your cream into a glass jar
Fold in Vitamin E and your essential oils if using
Store cream in the fridge up to 2 weeks
For sun- cooling all summer long, add the cream into silicone ice cube trays and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.double boiler
