What’s In It?
This moisturizing lotion has just three simple ingredients, or four if you count the optional one. Here’s a quick overview of what they are and how they can help restore moisture to dry skin!
Baby Lotion
Formulated for delicate baby skin, baby lotion is extremely gentle and is typically free of dyes and fragrances. It offers a certain degree of moisture on its own, but here it serves as the perfect foundation for creating a richer, more intensely hydrating lotion.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is packed with fatty acids that can help nourish your skin, and its rich texture provides longer lasting moisture than a standard lotion. Cutting it with baby lotion gives you the best of both worlds—a deeply hydrating lotion that doesn’t feel greasy.

Vitamin E Cream
Vitamin E has an anti-inflammatory effect, helping to reduce the redness and calm the itchiness that often go hand-in-hand with dry skin. It also helps improve the function of the skin barrier, and offers plenty of moisture on its own (especially in cream form!)
Essential Oils
Dry skin often isn’t just dry, but can also be itchy, inflamed, and even painful! Adding lavender essential oil to your moisturizing lotion can help reduce these unpleasant side effects (and it will make your lotion smell wonderful too!)

How To Make Your Own Inexpensive Moisturizing Lotion For Dry Skin
Ingredients:
16 oz baby lotion
8 oz coconut oil
8 oz vitamin E cream
Lavender essential oil (optional)
lotion
Directions:
Add the lotion, coconut oil, and vitamin E cream to a mixing bowl. Use a stand mixer (or hand mixer) to mix the ingredients until it achieves a uniform texture.
lotion
If you prefer the texture of traditional lotions, you can stop there. For a lighter, more “whipped” texture, continue mixing on medium-high speed to incorporate more air.
lotion
Divide the lotion among four 8-ounce jars, then add lavender essential oil if desired and stir. (I added about 16 drops of lavender essential oil to one 8-ounce jar of lotion, but you could add more or less depending on your preference!)
