Recipe: Calming Lavender and Shea Butter Hand Balm
Create a concentrated, intensely moisturizing hand balm using high-quality butters and oils, packaged perfectly in the protective 50 ml Aluminum Jar.
Ingredients:
-
Thirty grams Shea Butter (Nourishing Base)
-
Fifteen grams Coconut Oil (Melting Agent/Carrier)
-
Five grams Beeswax (Hardener/Protective Barrier)
-
Ten drops Lavender Essential Oil (Aroma and Soothing)
-
Five drops Vitamin E Oil (Antioxidant)
Instructions for Preparation:
First Step: Combine the Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, and Beeswax in a clean, heat-safe container. Gently melt them in a double boiler or bain-marie until the mixture is fully clear and liquefied.
Second Step: Remove the container from the heat and allow the liquid mixture to cool slightly until it reaches approximately forty degrees Celsius (40°C). It should still be liquid, but not hot.
Third Step: Add the Lavender Essential Oil and the Vitamin E Oil to the base. Stir thoroughly for one minute to ensure all essential oils are fully and evenly integrated into the warm oils.
Fourth Step: Carefully pour the liquid balm into the 50 ml Aluminum Jar. Leave the jar open and allow the balm to cool and solidify completely at room temperature for several hours.
Fifth Step: Once the balm is solid, securely screw on the lid.

-
Anhydrous Formula: This recipe is entirely water-free and designed specifically for aluminum packaging. This formula has a long shelf life without the need for preservatives.

-
Application: Use this concentrated balm on dry patches, cuticles, hands, or feet.
