How to Make Milk-Based Hand Lotion

Milk based hand lotion is a great alternative to chemical based hand lotions that you purchase in a store. You can make these hand lotions yourself using basic ingredients, such as whole milk.  Making hand lotion yourself is cheaper than buying it in a store, and can be made in a few short steps.

1. Pour 1 cup of cold organic whole milk into a bowl. Add 1 cup of dried chamomile flowers and leaves to the milk, and allow them to soak for approximately two hours.


2. Place a strainer on top of an empty bowl, and then pour the milk and chamomile mixture into the strainer. Throw the left over chamomile that is caught in the strainer away.


3. Pour the mixture in the bowl into a blender, and sprinkle 2 ½ tablespoons of wheat germ into the blender. Place the lid on the pitcher and blend the mixture for approximately one minute, or until it is well blended. You want the mixture to be thick, so be sure to not blend it too long.


4. Remove the lid from the pitcher, and put 4 tablespoons of organic honey into the mixture and blend again for approximately one minute, or until the mixture is creamy and thick. Remove the lid from the pitcher when you are done blending.


5. Place the mixture into a glass bottle with a lid. The bottles should be kept in the refrigerator until ready for use. You can use a funnel to make it easier to put the lotion into the glass bottles. Make sure you place the lid on them tightly when you are finished.
