Beard Balm/Salve

It’s stinkin’ cold outside.  If your man has a beard or not, this is great for the beard and the skin in the stinging cold weather.  Truth?  I use it on my hands and heels in the cold.

 

This is a must have for the man in your life, it will soon be his favorite.  It softens the beard as well as nourishing the skin.  No beard??? Use this as a nice moisturizing after shave lotion.  Soft skin will be the results for sure!

Beard Base

2 oz Jojoba oil (I get mine on AMAZON from Dr Adorable)

2 Tbl lanolin (I get mine on AMAZON from Dr Adorable)

2 oz almond oil (I get mine on AMAZON from Dr Adorable)

4 Tbl raw unrefined shea butter (I get mine here)

2 oz argan oil (I get mine on AMAZON from Dr Adorable)

4 drops vitamin E oil (I get mine on AMAZON from Dr Adorable)

4 Tbl Beeswax pellets (these are a good choice) if you have a local honey farmer ask them if you can purchase beeswax from them.  I buy mine locally in a 1 lb block and I grate it as I need it, packing it firmly into the tablespoon.

Essential oils (I only use and recommend these)

INSTRUCTIONS

Melt all the butters, beeswax and oil (except for the essential ) in a double boiler or in a pot inserted into a larger pot of boiling water on medium heat until all is melted together.

Cool in a refrigerator until firm but not too hard.

Use a hand mixer and whip until fluffy, at this time you may add your essential oils, about 30 drops.  For men I like to use oils like Cedarwood, Black Spruce, Sandalwood, Fir, Pine, Spearmint.  Experiment and use one or mix 2 or 3 to your liking.

Store in tins or small glass jars.  Makes great gifts for Father’s Day and more!
