MgSO4 Cream

Not strictly food and probably not useful to anyone else, but I'm going to post it so I don't lose the recipe.

3/8 cup water
1/4 cup Epsom salts
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup regular body lotion
1 tbsp lecithin
15-20 drops lavender oil or other essential oil

Add water and Epsom salts to a small stainless steel saucepan. Heat to a low simmer and stir until Epsom salts are dissolved.
Add coconut oil and lecithin to a medium bowl. Add the hot Epsom salts mixture and blend with a mixer until homogenized and cooler. Gradually add regular body lotion and essential oil and blend, scraping sides of bowl, until the mixture is opaque, at room temperature, and resembles whipped butter. Pour or scrape into a jar and enjoy.

Next time I make this recipe I'll probably try using less lecithin, which makes the lotion yellow and stinky, and more body lotion, since the salts in this are very drying.
