  1. Since I have no plans on selling this stuff (just local barter or gifts), I figure I'd share the recipe with everyone. I've gotten RAVE reviews from everyone who has tried this hand salve. I'm not sure what one could use instead of beeswax -- maybe cocoa butter? Pretty much, you need two "solid" fats, and two "liquid" fats.

    1 ounce #Beeswax
    1 ounce #SheaButter
    1 ounce Olive Oil
    1 ounce Almond Oil

    a few drops of Vitamin E oil (optional)
    5-10 drops of essential oil (optional)

    Carefully melt down the beeswax in a double-boiler, add to a Ball jar. Then melt down the shea butter and add to the Ball jar, keeping it warm enough to re-melt the beeswax. Add the other oils and mix well. Add the essential oil and Vitamin E right before pouring (or use the same Ball jar). Mix well. Allow to cool. Ready to use when cooled.
