In a blender or food processor, blend the ripe avocado until smooth. Add in jojoba oil and almond milk, then blend again until well combined. Transfer the mixture into an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

3. Aloe Vera Gel and Olive Oil Lotion:

Melt the cocoa butter using either a double boiler or microwave method until fully liquefied. Allow it to cool slightly before adding sweet almond oil into the melted cocoa butter. Stir well until thoroughly combined. Pour the mixture into a jar or container and let it solidify before use.
