Foot Soothing Butter/Balm




Description:
Give your feet a deep conditioning and relax your mind with a little aromatherapy.


Ingredients:

3 oz Beeswax

2 oz Tapioca Starch (or corn starch)

2 oz Apricot Kernel

1 oz Jojoba

3 oz Mango Butter

3 oz Shea Butter

.15 oz Peppermint EO

.15 oz Camphor

Instructions:

Melt the beewax, oils and butters in a double boiler. Don’t get too hot! Shea can sometimes go grainy tho I have never had the problem. Once all melted add the Tapioca Starch. I use tapioca starch cause it seems to me to be more silky, you can use Corn Starch if you want. Blend until smooth. Add the EO’s. you can use whatever you want but the combination of Peppermint and Camphor is soooo soothing to the footsies! Some people don’t like the smell of camphor.. that is ok,this isn’t suppose to be a smell good thing, but a feel good thing. Pour into your containers.
