Super Rich Foot Balm

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 50 g castor oil
  • 10 g beeswax
  • 1 g vitamin e
  • 15 drops peppermint oil
  • 15 drops rosemary oil

Recipe

  • 1 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.
  • 2 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.
  • 3 let stand, undisturbed until the mixture solidify.
  • 4 this recipe could be cut into half.
  • 5 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!
