A Hand Cream Recipe That's Frugal, Healthy and Heals Chapped Skin

Great tips on homesteading, frugal living, and self reliance.
	Hand Cream Recipe This hand cream recipe comes from one of my all-time favorite books, Organic Body Care Recipes. I’m listing it, because it is far easier to make than the cleansing cream recipe and leaves your skin soft without feeling greasy. Now that I’ve found this recipe, I’m never going to buy lotion again. It’s simply that wonderful. This hand cream recipe makes an excellent gift. You can order containers that are perfect for these lotions and give them as gifts. They are luxurious gifts that are easy on the budget. I slather this hand cream on my hands after washing dishes or doing chores, and it keeps them from cracking and getting those awful peelies. The combination of cocoa butter and essential oils give it a slight scent of spicy chocolate. Here are the ingredients: 1 tablespoon cocoa butter 2 tablespoons beeswax 1/4 cup coconut base oil 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon almond or apricot kernel oil I also add: 10 drops clovebud essential oil 10 drops frankincense essential oil 10 drops bergamot essential oil Using a double boiler, warm the cocoa butter, beeswax, coconut oil and almond or apricot kernel oil until melted. The beeswax will be the last to melt. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for five minutes, and then add the essential oils to your hand cream recipe. Continue stirring until the mixture becomes opaque but can still be poured. Pour it into a container and allow it to cool overnight. This hand cream recipe makes about one cup of hand cream.
