Skin softening balm

Donna Lee from Cottage Hill Herb Farm has devised a healing, soothing balm that is great for rough spots anywhere on the body – like elbows, heels, feet and hands. It is also wonderful for baby bottoms and mum’s tummy.

Ingredients:
2 teaspoons beeswax
1 teaspoon cocoa butter
1 teaspoon shea nut butter
3 tablespoon caster oil
1 teaspoon wheatgerm oil
Turmeric essential oil

To Make:
Melt all ingredients in the top of a double boiler and heat until well combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Add 15 drops of turmeric essential oil and pour into your pot or pots. Allow to cool and set before putting the lids on.

This balm is rich and soothing; the turmeric essential oil is anti-inflammatory. Very, very safe and gentle with a rejuvenating effect on skin.
