Add the Bergamot Oil to the melted mixture and stir well.

Place the bowl in the fridge for 30-45 minutes until it starts to set.

Once cooled, whip the mixture using an electric or hand mixer for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.

Transfer the whipped lotion into an airtight container, like a mason jar, and store in a cool place (the refrigerator is ideal).

To use, scoop a small amount and rub it into your skin. The lotion will melt quickly, so a little goes a long way!
Not only does this bergamot lotion deeply moisturize your skin, but Bergamot Oil also offers mood-lifting benefits, making it perfect for daily use.
