DIY it :: Honey Cuticle Cream

It's easy, fun & no chemicals added - you can whip up your own Honey Cuticle Cream in less than five minutes flat. And I love re-using metal Altoid tins! How perfect is that?

DIY Honey Cuticle Cream
1.5 ounces beeswax
3 ounces apricot kernel oil
1 tablespoon honey

Melt the wax and oil in the microwave, stir in the honey, and pour into tins or other containers.

  2. I guess this is a silly question, but does it ever go bad? I have horrible cuticles so I would probably use it up quickly anyway, but it's always good to know :)

  4. I've not had it go bad, but I imagine it could. I keep natural mixes of any kind in the fridge to be safe...

  5. What type of oil coule be used instead of Apricot Kernel oil. I can't see myself buying that just to make a small batch of this. Would something like walnut oil or grape seed oil work?

  9. I just made this, and for the most part, it's great, buuuut...the honey would not integrate with the oil/wax mix, and instead congregated in a big unbreakable mass in the bottom of the bowl. Should I let the wax mix cool longer before stirring it in?
