Here is the recipe to make your own lotion. I got it from wikihow.com.
1/2 C oil, 2 TBSP Petroleum Jelly or Beeswax, combine in microwave safe container. Heat on medium setting, checking every 30 seconds until melted. Pour 1/4 C of distilled water into it and mix with fork until blended. Let it cool down and put into a small jar and put the lid on it. If you double the recipe you can add it to your old lotion pump bottle for easier access.
I have been making my own lotion for years because even the pricey stuff does not do it for my dry skin in winter. In summer I don't use it so much, but it's good to make your own and know what is in it.
