Borrowing lordm's recipe, I melted together some
>shea butter
>cocoa butter
>jojoba oil
>coconut oil (actually a butter)
>beeswax
>almond oil
>orange essential oil
Before it cooled completely I spread some of the warm butter mixture on my skin...wow does that feel good. The beeswax (available at most local health food stores) makes it a little stiffer than lordm's recipe and helps seal the oils in the skin.
It's even nice for lips with the addition of the beeswax. And lots cheaper than those tiny little pots of lip balm. I added orange, but any essential oil would be nice. I melt a little in a cup in the microwave and smooth it on while it's warm but not hot....oh heaven!
It makes the aches melt away!
