Lavender Ointment

4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons beeswax
3 tablespoons cocoa butter
1 Vitamin E capsule
15 drops lavender essential oil

Combine the olive oil, beeswax and cocoa butter in a double boiler. Heat
until melted, then remove from heat. Prick a hole in the Vitamin E
capsule and add this and the lavender essential oil to the beeswax
mixture, beating well. Pour into small jars or tins and cool before
replacing the cover.

Use for chapped skin, bruises, or other minor skin irritations. This is
nice on dried feet, elbows or hands too.
