Goat's milk hand lotion recipe

Hi
Just wondering if anyone has a good non-greasy hand lotion recipe that uses goats milk. My hands are raw and red and peeling from the cold, and need help! I have some commercial lotion that I love, but would like to try making my own.
Thanks!

10.5 ounces goat milk
2 ounces glycerin
15 ounces coconut oil
1.5 ounces beeswax
2 ounces emulsifying wax
.5 ounces vitamin E oil
17.5 ounces aloe vera gel
.5 ounces germaben II
.5 ounces fragrance

Bring milk & glycerin almost to a boil. Melt coconut oil, beeswax, & emulsifying wax together. Slowly add milk/glycerin to oil/wax using a whisk. Add vitamin E oil & whisk well. Cool slightly & add aloe vera gel. Whisk well. Cool to room temperature & add fragrance & germaben II. Whisk well.

Continue to whisk occasionally as mixture cools. It will thicken as it cools. I use an empty 60 cc syringe with a catheter tip to fill my bottles. Fill bottles while lotion is slightly warm or you won't get it sucked up in the syringe.
