• 280 gram boiled water
• 112 gram witch hazel solution
• 112 gram glycerine soap or vegetable soap
• 2-3 tbsp. Pectin
• 2 tbsp. Honey
• 2 gram borax(optional)
• 10 drops lavender
• 10 drops Roman chamomile
• Yield: about 420 gram

Instructions:

• Heat water and witch hazel, sprinkle in the borax and stir
• Add the soap and allow to melt.
• Heat about 2-3 cups of water separately beforehand, sprinkle pectin slowly into it
• Stir until it has completely dissolved.
• Add the pectin to the soap solution, stir and let cool.
• When the mixture has reached skin temperature, add the honey and essential oils and stir again.
• For convenience, fill it into a bottle with a pump top.
• After a few hours, the mixture will have jelled and is ready for use.
• If the gel has become too thick, it can be diluted with water.
• If it has become too thin, dissolve a little more pectin in warm water and add it, using as much pectin as is necessary to make the gel thicker.
• For particularly brittle, chapped hands and injured skin, use myrrh instead of lavender.
