These skin care recipes designed for eczema or inflammation of the skin, are gentle, non irritating and all natural. So gentle and natural, these products you make can even be used on babies and people with the most sensitive and easily irritated skin.
The following recipes are fragrance free, chemical free and animal free. These skin care recipes are also multitasking which means they perform more than one function.
Personally, I've used this recipe on my two small children (since infancy with dermatitis) and the rest of my family for several years now. It worked very well at clearing up my little one's dermatitis. My family and friends love it. I still use it today!
Although the products you make from these recipes are not intended to treat, diagnose or cure any diseases, they are very effective and gentle enough to be used on persons with the following skin disorders:
Eczema
Dermatitis
Psoriasis
Rashes
Poison Ivy
Burns of any kind
Hyperkeratosis
Dry, itchy skin
HempShea Face & Body Butter
Ingredients You Will Need:
1 LB. Unrefined Shea Butter
4 oz. Organic Hemp Seed Oil
1 Tsp. Natural Vitamin E
Tools You Will Need:
1 Wire Wisk
1 Mixing Bowl
Jars of Your Choice
Preparation:
Step 1- In a mixing bowl, microwave shea butter in 15-20 second intervals until soft. Do not completely melt.
Note: If you melt shea butter on heat that's too high for a consistent time, it may crystalize and become grainy after it sets. Please keep this in mind whenever you use skin care recipes requiring shea butter.
The grainy texture does not compromise the shea butter's integrity, it just makes for an undesirable texture. The grains will melt when you rub the shea butter together in your hands.
Step 2- Whip shea butter with wisk or electric mixer until creamy smooth.
Step 3- Add hemp oil and vitamin E, then mix until well blended.
Step 4- Spoon or pour into desired containers. Will become soft solid after setting. No need to refrigerate.
