Instructions:
Add all ingredients except for the honey and aloe vera gel in a double boiler over low heat until all the oils and butters melt together. Be sure there are no solid pieces still left, everything must be melted and well mixed. Now add the aloe vera and honey until these are also completely dissolved and incorporated into the mix. Turn off the heat and allow to cool, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches room temperature. Once it has reached room temperature, place the container in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and whip in either your blender or with a hand mixer, for about 5 or 6 minutes. It should look something like a thin whipped cream. Cover (you can just put a plate over the bowl) for another 3 or 4 hours or until it becomes more firm. Spoon into the container of your choice. This lotion will keep for 6 weeks or so. You can store it in the fridge, if you like, so that it will keep for several months.
