I believe hard times are coming for all of us, and if we prepare we will survive. We all need to be more self sufficient, and less dependent on government. The Prepper idea is good but most of us don't have the time, resource or skills to do it the proper way. I prepare the best way I can, even a little is better than nothing. Floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, plaques and many other things happen or will happen. Prepare as if you will never see another store or hospital again.

At one time I made natural soap, hand lotion and lip balms and sold them. I no longer sell my products and have decided to share my recipes.
This is my hand cream or lotion recipe. It is all natural, it is my own recipe.
I wanted a recipe that was easy to make, didn't require expensive equipment, no scent or color, and it had to be good for the skin.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
HAND LOTION RECIPE
 
                   Makes a little less than 8 oz.
 
 
4 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon E Wax
1 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon Jojoba oil(clear one)
2/3 Cup WARM water( Not Chlorinated)
1 Tablespoon Germaben 2 (this is a preservative)
 
In a double boiler heat OLIVE OIL,JOJOBA OIL,& E WAX together until just melted.
 
Remove from heat; slowly pour in warm water while mixing with a whisk (if the water is cold it will harden) It will turn white.
Let this cool and add the Germaben 2.
 
This will be very liquid, pour into jars and let sit without a lid overnight, it will firm up slowly.
 
Some of these ingredients may seem to cost a lot but they will go a long way and you can make many more of these.
 
Don't substitute the products, they all have a purpose. If you don't use the preservative, it will only last a few days.
