Social distancing and hand washing - Top two rules we are currently living with. While we can't soften the distance between each other, we can help you to soften your hands as you wash them on a regular basis. Here's NBCC's Garden of Eatin' recipe for a gentle hand balm you can make at home.
Ingredients
1 oz. beeswax pellets
1 oz. shea butter
4 oz. olive oil
10-20 drops essential oil of desired scent, e.g Lemon or Lavender
Directions
Place beeswax in a double boiler and gently warm over low heat until the beeswax melts.
Add olive oil and shea butter stir over low heat until well-mixed.
Remove from heat and add the essential oil(s).
Quickly pour warm mixture into clean tins, jars, tubes and allow to cool completely.
Store in a cool location for 1 to 3 years.
This is a very basic hand balm recipe with many easy variations. If you prefer a more creamy and softer texture, increase the amount of shea butter or decrease the amount beeswax. Experiment using different types of oils. Add or decrease the quantity of essential oil based on the desired aroma.
