Use this basic healing hand salve recipe with your favorite ingredients. The beeswax hand salve recipe can be customized to be perfectly suited to your skin.
Directions:
1. Line your molds with parchment paper; for silicone molds, you can use oil (olive, vegetable, or coconut). Instead of using molds, we simply lined cardboard boxes with plastic to make bars of soap.
NOTE: Only certain materials can be used for cold process soap: plastic, silicone, and wood. Active lye will rust most metals and the heat from the lye will melt weaker plastics.
2. Carefully weigh and measure all ingredients.
3. Measure out the water and slowly add the lye while constantly mixing. Always add small amounts of the lye to the water and not vice versa, or you could create a lye explosion. You definitely don’t want this to happen.
