Winter balm is great for hands and feet, elbows and knees; it is good for anything that needs a little more care and attention in the winter.
How might you make this lovely winter balm? It’s easy!
Using a kitchen scale, measure the following ORGANIC ingredients in a clean saucepan:
15 g beeswax
30 g shea butter
30 g sweet almond oil
30 g calendula infused sunflower oil
30 g rosehip oil
Using very low heat, slowly and patiently heat the oils and wax until these are homogenous, that is, all mixed together as one oil. Do not let it cook or get too hot. A bain-marie or double boiler would be a good idea, but it is not necessary if you are carefully watching and not distracted. Too much heat destroys the more delicate and beneficial aspects of the oils.
Then take the saucepan off the heat and add:
15 drops lavender oil
10 drops rose oil
5 drops vanilla absolute
Pour into clean glass containers.

If you do not have a scale, remember that one tablespoon is about 15 g. It does not have to be exactly as the above recipe to be amazing.
Great ingredients make it great.
