That wont mess things up at all- lavender is a great soothing oil. Peppermint oil feels cool on the skin, which is why I picked it, but Lavender or Lavender and Peppermint are great choices.

I have read alot of posts for sunburn relief. I really like yours the best. I noticed that alot of posts have Lavender oil. They say it helps with burns. If I add some to your soother would it alter the effects of the other Ingredients? I like the idea of the Lavender oil but I dont want to mess things up. :)

I’m not sure! Fresh mint will make the moisturizer spoil more quickly.

You could try putting it in a food processor and then blending that into your recipe, but I don’t have any sense of whether that would work or not because I’ve never worked with fresh herbs. You could also try infusing an oil with some of the fresh mint that could be blended into the recipe.

Would there be a way to use fresh mint in this instead of peppermint oil?

My guess is that the temperature difference was too high between the oil and aloe mixtures. The reason to leave it to cool is because they will only mix if they are similar temperatures. The oil mixture will harden while it cools, but the hand mixer whips it right up so that it can be mixed easily.

Just the beeswax and oils hardened but the witch hazel and aloe gel were left at the bottom of the jar. Any idea? I made it almost exactly as your recipe says but I didn’t let the oils and beeswax cool as long as stated because it just kept hardening too fast so I melted it again and let it sit for a few minutes and then mixed it together.
