Shelf Life: 1 year
Benefits: Shea butter and olive oil are both ultra-hydrating and full of skin nourishing vitamins, and beeswax helps to lock in moisture and protect your skin.
Chamomile essential oil helps to soothe skin, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. It’s great for dry, chapped skin, and eczema.
The calendula oil is optional, but it’s healing and a great addition if you’re prone to chapped or very dry hands. You can buy this oil or make your own.
Vitamin E is also optional, but it’s full of antioxidants, making it great for nourishing your hands and keeping your skin looking young.
Tips and Tricks: For a deep moisturizing treatment, apply cream to hands or feet before going to bed, and then put on gloves or socks. This will help the cream to really sink in.
