Foot cream


I originally found this recipe in the book “Wartime Housewife” by Biff Raven-Hill but because the original recipe is done with cocoa butter and my Mommy is highly allergy to it, I decided to readjust the recipe a bit.

If you are interested in the book you can find it here:

Ingredients: 

  • 100g coconut butter 
  • 20g beeswax
  • 5 tablespoons of Sweet almond oil
  • 10 drops Peppermint essential oil
  • 3 drops Tea tree essential oil
Tools:
  • big oit
  • small pot
  • wooden spoon
  • jar with a lid

Put a large pot of water on the stove and a small one inside of the big one, we’ll make this cream on a water bath so we don’t boil the coconut butter and destroy all the nutrition value of it.
You put the coconut butter in the small pot and melt it till liquid, you add the beeswax and melt it together, add the sweet almond oil, peppermint essential oil and tea tree essential oil and stir till smooth, do not bring it to boil.

After everything is liquid pour the cream in a nice jar with a lid and leave it to cool down for several hours.

I promise your feet will be baby skin soft.
