Here&#8217;s my favorite blend of butters and oils to moisturize:<\/p>\n<p>Homemade Hand Cream Recipe:<\/p>\n<p>ingredients<\/p>\n<p>3 ounces coconut oil  (cheaper in bulk: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2sMg6p7)<br \/>\n1.75 ounces mango butter (available here: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2LosNgq)<br \/>\n1 ounce olive oil<br \/>\n0. 125 ounces beeswax  (I like these white pellets: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2rRsnrP)<\/p>\n<p>instructions<\/p>\n<p>1.  Melt the oil, butter, and beeswax in a double boiler set over low heat.  <\/p>\n<p>2.  Remove from the heat and add the fragrance oil and essential oil, if using.  Stir well until fully combined.<\/p>\n<p>3.  Set on the counter to cool at room temperature until solidified, at least 4 hours, or overnight (or fridge for 2 hours, or freezer for 30 minutes)<\/p>\n<p>4. Whip until white fluffy using electric mixer, about ten minutes.  If consistency does not change after whipping, place the oils in the fridge for 15 minutes and try again.<\/p>\n<p>5.  Store in clean container at room temperature.  May melt if stored above 80 degrees. <\/p>\n<p>notes<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have a double boiler, just use a glass on stainless bowl set over a pan with one inch of water.<\/p>\n<p>If your house is very warm, you can store this in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>If you just want a moisturizing balm, there is no need to whip.  Simply melt, mix, and store!<\/p>\n<p>print out this recipe from my blog:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"phbZAVT1hF\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/heartscontentfarmhouse.com\/homemade-hand-cream\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Homemade Hand Cream for Winter<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Homemade Hand Cream for Winter&#8221; &#8212; Heart&#039;s Content Farmhouse\" src=\"https:\/\/heartscontentfarmhouse.com\/homemade-hand-cream\/embed\/#?secret=2KFMEeDtCd#?secret=phbZAVT1hF\" data-secret=\"phbZAVT1hF\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>For more homemade bath and body projects, check out my soap and lotion playlist:  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLWnaVydmS671wf_RhF277S6nKCvv0Bzk6<\/p>\n<p>Heart\u2019s Content Farmhouse is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com. \u00a0As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualified purchases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Need a recipe for homemade hand cream to soothe dry winter skin?
