• Mix ingredients well in a spray-top bottle. The recipe features a strong concentration of apple cider vinegar.
• Massage well into the hair residue, activates and stimulates the scalp, and is suitable for oily hair, dandruff, and itching of the scalp.
• If the itching is very intense, use peppermint.

Application:

• Providing a protective and moisture-regulating film, the best time to apply is before you go to bed

Ingredients:

• 60 gram jojoba oil

• 1-2 tsp. Honey
• 20 carrot seed

Instructions:

• Heat the beeswax and jojoba oil until it becomes a clear mass.
• Pour into a bowl and mix well until it has cooled to skin temperature.
• Add the carrot seed oil and honey, stir again.
• Fill into a container.
• The mass becomes creamy after a short time.

Application:

• This hand-washing gel is disinfectant, cleansing, and beneficial to the skin.

Ingredients:

• 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

• 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.

• For particularly brittle, chapped hands and injured skin, use myrrh instead of lavender.
