DIY Hand Cream using Essential Oils
With all the hand washing and hand sanitizing, my hands needed deep relief and this is the hand cream that works!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup shea butter
- 2 tablespoons yellow beeswax pellets
- 4 tablespoons sweet almond oil
- 1 teaspoon raw organic honey
- 20 drops each lavender and lemon essential oil
- 3 (2-ounce) glass jars (I used Weck jars)
Instructions
- Using a double boiler or a heat-proof glass bowl over a pan filled with about an inch of boiling water, melt the shea butter, beeswax pellets, and almond oil.
- Once all solids have become liquid, remove from heat and allow to cool for about 2 minutes.
- Add the essential oils (and honey if using), and stir to combine
- Pour into jars and allow to become solid. It takes only a few minutes or you can put it into the refrigerator.
Notes
Will keep for up to 2 weeks stored in the refrigerator.
