Recipe: Lavender Body Butter

I am going to have to try this 

Lavender Body Butter 
I got sunburned today while turning soil for my tomato bed. Since I finished my aloe moisturizer this morning, I realized I didn't have anything to sooth my sore skin. So, I "whipped up" this simple, relaxing, and rejuvenating lavender body butter

Ingredients:
4 Tbsp Coconut oil
1.5 Tbsp Olive oil
2 Tbsp. Beeswax
1 Tsp. Honey
3 Tbsp. Aloe Vera gel
2 Tsp. Lanolin
10 drops Lavender essential oil
1 Vitamin E capsule

Directions:
- In double boiler over medium-high, heat oils, beeswax and honey.
- In a separate double boiler over medium-high, heat aloe. Once melted, mix into beeswax mixture. Stir.
- Add lanolin & stir.
- Once mixture has melted, turn heat to low. Stir in Vitamin E and essential oil. Whip until smooth.
- Pour into small glass jars and let cool before covering.

If I can get things together, this may be one of my crash courses.
