Cuticle Cream for Cuticles and Dry Feet

I have very dry skin and the best thing I've found for my ridiculously dry feet is cuticle cream. The over the counter (OTC) cuticle creams cost too much for me to use daily on the bottom of my feet so I make my own and it's a lot less expensive.

Ingredients:
1 part Beeswax Pellets
1 part Raw/Unrefined Shea Butter
1 part Coconut Oil
Optional: Sweet Almond Oil, Vitamin E Oil, Essential Oils

Instructions:
Add shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax to a double boiler over low heat. (If a double boiler isn’t available, a large pyrex measuring cup will work instead. I use a large pyrex measuring cup.)

Stir frequently until the ingredients are completely melted and combined.

Remove from heat and mix in the optional oils listed above, if using.

Carefully pour the mixture into containers and allow to sit undisturbed until firm and solid.

Notes:
If the end result of the cream is too hard just add coconut oil. If it's not hard enough then add beeswax pellets.

I put this on my feet and toes in the morning and at night and it's made a difference. Some people put on socks when using it at night but I don't.

Microwave instructions:

• Place the shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax pellets in a microwave-safe container (you can use a Pyrex measuring cup).
• Melt in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the ingredients are fully melted and combined.
• Mix in essential oils, if using.
• Carefully pour the mixture into containers and allow to sit undisturbed until firm and solid.

Below are examples of supplies I get from Amazon. You should do a search to find the best price, vendor, and amount for your needs.
