The best kept secret just might be in your cupboard!
Kathleen emailed me asking for help creating a nice butter out of her extensive cupboard for her brother, who suffers from excema. The dry and itchiness of excema can be hard to live with and can be incredibly distracting. Let’s help Kathleen make a lotion that will help moisturize and soothe dry skin.

Weigh all of the ingredients except for the preservative and Vitamin E Acetate into a microwave safe container. Heat gently until all of the oils have melted. Heat in the microwave using short time bursts until everything is melted. Blend the ingredients to a smooth, creamy consistency using the immersion blender. Add the Liquid Germall Plus and Vitamin E Acetate once the temperature drops to approximately 120° F in the mixing bucket. Stir gently until completely mixed. Pour into containers and allow to cool completely before labeling. Enjoy!
