Homemade Hand Cream

I used the recipe from ReadyMade and it worked wonderfully. I used olive oil, a little shea butter, and plain water. We use unscented hand cream, since we handle other people's wool, or I would have used coconut oil or cocoa butter and added essential oils. Maybe I'll make another batch for days off. :)

 

This was easy peasy, just like making mayonnaise. The recipe yielded about 2 cups, which filled 4 of the teensy canning jars. It has a really nice consistency and works very well.
