SKIN SALVE
JULY 8, 2021
{Makes about 8oz., need glass jar(s)}
-1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
-1/2 cup olive oil
-1/2 cup Shea butter
-3 Tbsp beeswax (pastilles are best)
-3/4 tsp vitamin E
-1/2 tsp arrowroot or cornstarch (cuts greasiness)
20 drop lavender
15 drops thyme
15 drops geranium
10 drops melaleuca
10 drops helichrysum
10 drops frankincense
Combine the first four ingredients in a glass jar with a double boiler concept.
On medium low heat, melt and stir (I prefer using a disposal wooden popsicle stick) until completely melted and then remove the jar from the boiling water. Add the arrowroot powder and mix until smooth.
Let mixture cool enough to where you can touch the jar for a couple seconds without it burning you.
Then add vitamin E oil and the essential oil's and stir. Pour it immediately into the containers, glass with a lid preferable.
