Intense Moisturizing Ointment Recipe

No Chemicals or Toxins - Completely Edible - Intense Moisturizing Ointment for Incredibly Dry Skin.

Here is the recipe for my intense moisturizing ointment for super dry skin I used for my daughter with very severe eczema you can read about at the bottom of the page - here. I started with the recipe out of a book a few years back and over the years I have tweaked it with a few different ingredients and different ratios and find this to be the best ointment I have found. There is a summer and winter version, the winter one stays soft enough to apply during colder months (it gets to around 0-10 C degrees in winter in Australia), and in summer when it can hit 40 degrees C a firmer recipe stops the ointment from melting too much.

Summer Ingredients

175g Organic Shea Butter
275g Organic Coconut Oil
115g Bees Wax
​40g Rice Bran Oil
50 Drops of Lavender Oil

Winter Ingredients

175g Organic Shea Butter
275g Organic Coconut Oil
115g Bees Wax
​60g Rice Bran Oil
20g Jojoba Oil
50 Drops of Lavender Oil

Method

Double Boil Method
Put all the ingredients (except the Lavender Oil) in a bowl and then put the bowl into a saucepan with about 1.5 inches of water at the bottom. Now boil the water in the saucepan and let the ingredients all melt in together. After it is all melted together add the lavender oil and let it heat another 3-4 minutes while stirring the mixture to make sure it is well mixed up.

Next pour the mixture into your ointment container and put it straight into the fridge without the lid on. This is important because it will make sure the ointment sets properly. If you don't mix the ingredients enough or you take too long to put the mixture into the fridge it will set grainy and be uncomfortable to use. If this happens just reheat the ointment and then pour back into the container and refrigerate. 

This ointment doesn't need to be kept in the fridge and doesn't go rancid like some other recipes. It has a long shelf life and really is great for your skin. Enjoy!
