Melt together equal parts by weight-beeswax, olive oil and coconut oil. Pour into silicone molds and cool.
Super super simple but it works really well-I kept away the split cuticle monster all winter.
But the bars wear down, just like soap bars, so I waited until I had a bunch of nubbins and put them together in a silicone cup and melted them. Just set the cup in simmering water in a saucepan.
Now I have a little bar to carry in my purse-I just put it in an Altoids tin.
Sorry I've been MIA, but I continue to get sick. I finally took my chest infection to Urgent Care on Saturday and got antibiotics. They told me my case was typical of the virus going around this year: You get sick, you get well-and you actually feel pretty good, then you get sick again, then well. Lather, rinse and repeat, LOL! Hopefully I've broken the cycle with the strong horse pills they gave me. I do feel more energetic and have most of my speaking voice back so I'm hoping.
Knitting along, I really have to share what I'm doing soon-got a baby sweater almost done, a pair of baby socks in the works and that shawl project I took to Mazatlan. So I do have things to show you.
You have been suffering a long time with this issue, not fun at all. I wonder if that is the same virus that has been going around the RV park. Many got sick, better and sick again. Antibiotics was the answer.
ReplyDeleteYou sure do put a whole lot into life, making your own soap! I could never keep up to you. GLad you are getting your energy back but take it easy for awhile.
