Natural Ointments are easy products to make at home. They have many uses
for problem skin types. They are used mostly on dry, cracked skin
and for minor injuries to the skin. To make Natural Ointments you
will need a stainless steel saucepan, a bowl, a whisk, a spatula,
and a thermometer (up to 100°C) as well as the ingredients.
A simple base Natural Ointment can be made from Vegetable
Oils and Beeswax. The
Vegetable Oils nourish the skin whilst at the same time softening and
protecting it. The Beeswax protects
the skin whilst giving the ointment its consistency. The more Beeswax
you add, the harder the Natural Ointment will be and the more Vegetable
Oil you add, the softer it will be.
