Gentle Goat Milk Lotion
This is the section's true daily-driver, dual-use lotion, light enough for the face, versatile enough for the body, and formulated at a pH close to skin's own acid mantle (5.0–5.5) for everyday tolerance.

- 1 tbsp (15 mL / 13.5g) Vitamin E Oil

Kitchen note
Use an immersion blender, not a whisk, for this one specifically, the high-shear blending is what creates a stable enough emulsion to last the full 7–10 day refrigerated window; hand-whisking tends to break down faster.
