I think I've decided to go with geranium oil, olive oil and some vitamin E.

My biggest concern is the ability to extract the Cannabinoids in a high enough concentration in the oil (I've never mde canna-oil so I'm unsure of how strong of a concentration you can reach).

How much cannabis would be effective vs how much is a waste is hard to determine as it will be different on a person by person and strain vs strain basis.

I will probably utilize the crockpot canna-oil method or your adapt your butter washing method.... or use both. I want to ensure that the oil is clean of fertilizers and other things that could have negative impact on the skin.


Here are the ingredients I have so far for a lotion:

1 part distilled water

1 part Olive oil (both are good for dry skin, but I think olive oil may be a little too oily..)

1 tablespoon of lecithin (this will help keep the entire mixture emulsified. Oddly enough you can find this in eggs, but you'd probably want to go to the store and find pure lecithin).

few drops of geranium oil

And some vitamin E.. Oil capsules would be best because you can just undo them, but you could also get regular pills.. crush them and throw them into the olive oil during your cannabis extraction.

Basically after you've made your canna oil (use the olive oil for this) you will want to throw it all in a blender and set it to whip.. Let it run for about 5 minutes until it gets fluffy and lotion like.

This is a chemical free version of a transdermal I've made in the past for other medicinal herbs. I added geranium oil to this because it properties seemed good for someone who may have dry skin... you may also want to look into Myrrh oil; I don't know much about it but I've read on other boards that it is good at putting moisture back into the skin. I personally have no experience with it.


From here you can manipulate the lotion the way you see fit. This is just a basic foundation for a topical lotion.

You can make the lotion thicker/thinner by adding/removing water
