Skin Soothing Balm

I enjoy working with healing herbs and essential oils for my own health, for my family's well-being, and sometimes for friends and clients, too. One way I express myself with herbalism is by making a nourishing, soothing, anti-microbial healing balm for skin, which I have sold at art shows and farmer's markets and given as gifts, as well. One little jar can last quite a while. I just made this batch at my mom's request, because her jar from about five years ago was almost empty.

Not only have I used this to heal skin irritations, I also use it occasionally at night as a once-in-a-while deep moisturizer on my face. I have also put a little in my hair, which is dry and curly, and it helped control frizz and protect dry, splitting ends. It's very versatile! I love things with more than one use.
