Tannarator Formulation (Recipe)

Submitted By:

William of Wahsougal, WA

Summary:

Tanning and Moisturizing Lotion

Ingredients:

4 oz distilled water
1 oz cocoa butter (weighed)
1 oz shea butter (weighed)
1 oz organic coconut oil (weighed)
2 tablespoons emulsifying wax
2 tablespoons hemp seed oil
2 tablespoons meadowfoam oil
1 teaspoon vanilla flavor oil
1 teaspoon strawberry flavor oil

Instructions:

Mix ingredients, less flavor oils, and heat to 180 degrees or better and hold it at the temp for 20 to 30 minutes. You will need to blend these several times during the heating cycle. I found an old "Home" milkshake maker that works great. It takes at least three times to insure the mix will not readily separate later. Allow it to cool to about 130 degrees before adding the flavor oils. Stir one last time and pour. This will make about 9 oz's of tanning lotion. I have had great feedback from the users. I make a Strawberry Sun Day and a Pineapple Sun Day. Both are well received.
