directions

  • Before starting, make sure your work station is as clean as possible. Have clean utensils and pots -- the pots you are putting your product in have been cleaned. You want to keep your finished product to stay as sterile as possible.
  • Combine all the ingredients and heat until just melted, roughly 3 - 4 minutes. Do not let the mixture come to a boil. Vitamin E and Essential oils are heat sensitive, so let the mixture cool down until warm to the touch, then add them. Work quickly to pour the balm into the pots.
  • Let stand, undisturbed until the mixture solidify.
  • This recipe could be cut into half.
  • Vitamin E has it's own healing properties, but it is used here as a preservative. With any home products, there is a shelf life of roughly 2 years. I date my finished product -- but I have usually used it up by then!
