Make a multitasking lanolin balm
For 12 days we have been publishing one formula a day that you can copy or personalise this holiday season.
DAY 12
This final formula for the series is a multitasking balm with lanolin.
All the formulas in the past 12 days were designed for formulators who aren’t yet at advanced level or those who prefer to make a formula without really delving into the details. What you choose to work with, that is a personal choice, I am here to provide you inspiration, advice and ideas and I hope I’ve achieved that.
This multitasking balm has butters, oils and lanolin. It is designed to sooth irritated skin, to soften dry skin. Lanolin is a wonderful addition but it can be omitted if you prefer a vegan formula. Why is it multitasking? It is superb on face, on hands, on elbows, knees and heels. Keep a tiny jar in your handbag so you have it when needed.
PERSONALISATION
Feel free to choose your own oils.
You can replace behenyl alcohol with cetyl alcohol. It is a possible that you get a different viscosity when you change butters or behenyl, .
You can leave out bisabolol and use CO2 extracts. Think about what you want the balm to do, bisabolol fit my theme.
Use your own essential oil blend.
HOW TO USE
Use it on dry elbows, heels. Use as a softening balm on dry, chapped hands. Apply a small amount onto the cuticles and nails.
SOURCE
