Gotu Kola & Neem Cuticle Salve

Add the macadamia nut oil to a small sauce pan along with the neem powder and gotu kola. Heat together on very low heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. It’s important to do this on as low heat as possible to prevent the oil for burning. After 15 minutes, strain the oil through a fine mesh cloth or strainer and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Add that infused oil back into the small sauce pan along with the shea butter, beeswax and coconut oil. Heat together on very low heat, stirring often, until all ingredients are melted together. Test the oil on a little spoon placed in the refrigerator to see how well it’s solidifying before adding in any more beeswax. Once satisfied with the texture, pour the mixture into small tins, filling almost to the brim. Add 3-5 drops of Juniper essential oil to each tin as the very last step. Let sit to cool completely. Store with tight fitting lids and label appropriately.
