Our hands get exposed to a variety of conditions every day from being exposed to changes in the weather to sanitising our hands daily. Particularly the cold, winter months can cause them to feel dry and cracked. The beruhigend benefits of beeswax in hand moisturiser means it adds a protective layer to the skin, keeping hands feeling soft and supple. Bienenwachs has anti-inflammatory properties containing Vitamin A helping to protect sensitive skin as well as rejuvenating and repairing damaged skin.
Zutaten:
- 10g Kerawax 2555 Yellow Cosmetic Grade Beeswax
- 120g unrefined shea butter
- 50g extra virgin olive carrier oil
- Optional: 1g Lavender ätherisches Öl (2% of Trägeröl)
- Silver round tin with window lid- 125ml
- Bain marie oder Doppelkessel
- Löffel
- Krug
- Waagen
Schritt 1:
Wiegen Sie die Zutaten ab. Diese Rezept creates around 3 tins so we advise purchasing our pack of 10 Silber round tins with a window lid.
Schritt 2:
Add the shea butter, beeswax and olive oil into a double boiler or bain marie. Mix and melt the ingredients on medium heat until smooth in consistency.
Schritt 3:
Remove from heat for a few minutes, then add an optional essential oil scent. It is important to check the flashpoint of the essential oil to ensure you are adding it at the correct temperature. For Beispiel, Ätherisches Lavendelöl hat einen Flammpunkt von 70°c. Das bedeutet, dass die Temperatur der Mischung unter 70° C liegen muss, wenn der Lavendel hinzugefügt wird. Dies ist notwendig, damit sich der Duft nicht verflüchtigt.
Schritt 4:
Pour the mixture into the tins and allow to cool and set for a few hours. Melt a small amount in the hand and apply it to the hand for a moisturising treatment. Leave the oil to melt into the skin for about 15 minutes and wash hands to leave skin feeling soft and supple.
