Hello, community greetings, and thanks for the @diyhub giving us an opportunity to find out our ability to create something. This time asked about doing something connected to bees The honeybee I love that insect we had them lots around our garden but in the last three years something happen and now rarely we find them around, even the beekeepers also said there are very less bees.
today I made some lip balm that is natural and healthy, without any harmful effect on the skin I used beeswax with some topical ingredients.
This wax is rich in vitamin A We learned from school how to use it to keep skin soft and moist. my Ayurvedic studies encourage me to think of new approaches regarding dietary and natural products. I did try making different ayurvedic creams and ointments using beeswax, but here I don't have all the necessary ingredients to share some good recipes used for skin. Beeswax has properties to soften and rehydrate the skin. The natural moisturizers in beeswax make it the ideal lip balm. If you suffer from cracked or chapped lips, here is the lip balm that gives you relief which combine with a few topical natural oils.
Kokum butter is made from the fruit of the kokum tree which is mostly found in coastal south India. the kokum (Garcinia Indica) seeds are processed in a certain way to make oil. This oil provides nourishment to the skin and long-lasting hydration, making it suitable for cold weather and outdoor activities. It can also make overly dry, scaly, or patchy skin supple and smooth.
In Ayurveda, we attach importance to castor oil for skin and overall health.
Castor oil is a hydrating, soothing, and detoxifying ingredient that can be used to treat dry skin, wrinkles, and other skin conditions.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp beeswax
1 tbsp kokum butter
1 tbsp castor oil
few threads of saffron or 1 drop of oil
2 pinches of beetroot powder
Utensils: whisk, small spoon, glass bowl, and small pan used like a double boiler. small container to fill ready product.
Chopped beeswax, kokum butter, and mixed together added castor oil.
It was in small quantities so I used a small pan to boil water and fixed a glass bowl on it and made the double boiler system.
Melt beeswax and kokum butter together with castor oil.
as soon as it melted I put some saffron threads.
Mixed saffron treads and dissolved beetroot powder in a few drops of water (to get nice pink color) and mixed that into the wax mixture. here we have to work very quickly before the wax hardens. So i kept it in hot water until I mixed in the beetroot powder and filled the containers. And here is the lip balm ready for use.
Thank you for stopping by.
