Gardeners Hand Salve
This herb-infused hand salve is perfect for damaged, dry hands. Great for gardeners and anyone who is rough on their hands.
Servings: 5.5 ounces
Equipment
- 8 ounce glass jar (or metal tins)
Ingredients
- ½ cup herb-infused oil
- 1 TBSP beeswax pellets (about 1/2 ounce)
- 2 TBSP shea butter
- 20 drops lavender essential oil (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the beeswax, shea butter, and herb-infused oil in a double boiler until melted. You can also use a heat-safe glass bowl on top of a pot if you don't have a double boiler.
- Remove from heat and add the lavender essential oil, if using.
- Quickly and carefully pour the mixture into a small glass jar or tins.
- Cool in the refrigerator to help prevent the shea butter from turning grainy.
- Use as needed after gardening or anytime your hands need some extra TLC.
Notes
Store in a cool, dry place and use as needed. I keep it in my pantry.
