joanncat18 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Here are the instructions that go with the recipe:"Melt butters and wax together until liquid. Heat oils to approximately 110*. Add oils and butter/wax mixture together between 100-110*. Mix together thoroughly. Add Vitamin E and mix again. I use a mixer to whip it as it cools, as if it were whipped shea, but keep in mind that it's intended to be balm consistency, so it won't whip high. If you prefer b/w, add sub it for the soy by 1/2 amount: 15 g for this amount." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edensong Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I actually have all these ingredients. I'm guessing you've not tried this on your daughter, so are you wanting just the amount made in the recipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it gives the sub for beeswax in your 2nd post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanncat18 Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Well, this sounds like it would be great for her skin. How much would that recipe make?? I have not tried it. If you have the materials and would be willing to make me a batch that would be great. Beeswax would be just fine...sounds like it would be better for the skin than soy anyway. I will PM you for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I bet a bar of Pine Tar soap would really help your DD's eczema better than a balm. We never had luck with anything like that. Try to find some Pine Tar soap - you'd be amazed at how well it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
