If making the simple version… just mix the organic lotion and 1-2 teaspoons of mineral powder (or mica powder and cocoa powder) to get the desired color and consistency.

For the complete DIY: Melt the shea butter and emulsifying wax in a double boiler until completely melted.

Add the aloe a little at a time and whisk until completely incorporated and smooth.

Turn the heat off and slowly add the colors. Add mica and cocoa powder a little at a time until the desired color is reached.

Dip the tip of a spoon into the mixture and let cool for a few seconds. Test the color and coverage on your cheek or the back of your hand to make sure you’ve achieved the right tone for your skin.

Spoon the mixture into the desired container and let cool.
