Lotion that Heals

Dry, chapped skin is never fun and I deal with it on a day to day basis.  I suffer from eczema and I have never really found any lotions that rid me of the itching that is associated with this and other skin conditions.  That is, until Rebecca at campwander.blogspot.com made an All-Purpose Healing Salve that works wonders! 
I changed the recipe a little to meet my skin needs and because she is always changing the recipe herself.  After realizing how well it worked, I looked into why store brand lotions never work for me.  The main answer I came up with: they all have Petrolatum.  More commonly known as petroleum jelly.  http://www.livestrong.com/article/226763-side-effects-of-petrolatum/ is an article that I read when researching a little bit about petrolatum.  Not only is it bad for the skin, but it is in almost every lotion that I own. 
So, onto the recipe!

You will need:
    4 or 5 jars.  (I use 4oz glass Ball quilted canning jars.)
    1 Cup of Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
    1 Cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (To get a white color of lotion, use Extra Light Tasting)
    5 Tablespoons of Beeswax Pastilles (They melt faster)
   10 Drops of Pure Lavender Essential Oil per jar (I use DoTerra for all my essential oils)
    8 Drops of Pure Lemon Essential Oil per jar
    6 Drops of Pure Melaleuca Essential Oil per jar
    3 Drops of Pure Frankincense Essential Oil per jar (Optional)
    Vitamin E Oil (Optional)
    Pot for boiling water
    Glass Bowl or Jar (I use a quart canning jar)

Procedure:
-Fill your pot half full with water, set on low to medium heat. The water should never come to a boil.
-Set your class jars on a nearby counter.
-In your large glass bowl or jar: add coconut oil, olive oil, and beeswax pastilles.
-Place into pot, stir occasionally with a knife.
-Prepare your small jars: add the drops of each essential oil directly into each small jar.
-Add a few drops of Vitamin E oil if desired.
-When all the ingredients in the large jar are melted together (10 minutes) put the contents into each small jar leaving about 1/2 inch from the top.
-Cover small jars with a paper towel and allow to cool.
-To speed up cooling process, you may put them in the refrigerator. 
-Top with lid once completely cool.

Uses:
-Cuts/Scrapes (instead of neosporin)
-Burns
-Dry skin/Eczema
-Warts
-Acne

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.There are other blends to try as well, but this is the most healing of them.
