A cracked heel, a burn from the stove, a patch of dry winter skin: small troubles that a simple jar from your own kitchen can ease. This is a plain-spoken start for beginners: which oils and herbs actually soothe, how to infuse them safely, the right ratio of oil to beeswax for a balm that holds, and storage that keeps a batch good for months. Calm, hands-on guidance for making healing skin care yourself.
