Friends Home made, natural tanning lotion, easy to make

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup 99% unscented, undyed aloe vera gel (lilly of the earth brand)
1/2 tsp xanthan gum - natural thickening agent
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract - for color and scent .


I use a 'bullet' blender and the small sized container with the blade attachment that is mostly flat. Blended until smooth. Used a funnel to pour the liquid back into a clean and empty lotion bottle.

If it is too thick for your liking - ad more olive and aloe
Too thin, ad 1/4 tsp xanthan . Don't over do it on the xanthan gum because a little goes a long way.
Goes on smooth and absorbs nicely. There you have it
