homemade all natural KP Ointment aka chicken skin


i
 try to recycle as much as i can! so anything glass with a lid gets reused. this was a gifted candle so i do not know where it was purchased., but it was a well know brand.

Our daughter did get this from her hubbies side of the family. so i had no previous knowledge of how to treat
KP.


But when the pediatrician wanted me to use an acne body wash that had the active ingrediants that used to be in a popular cream that was no longer being produced.... i went on a research quest....and with as much as i love coconut oil... i decided to use it as my base. with all of the skin healing benefits of myrrh and grapefruit....they had to be included. the tagetes is used in european skin care...so i decidd to add it in.
make sure your container is cleaned out. i used 1/2 cup Coconut oil and 10 drops of each young living oil. .

i placed the 1/2 c co in my container and placed in a sauce pan with an inch of water... heated over med low till co was melted. i removed from heat and added Essential oils mixed well and placed in the fridge to cool..

once almost completely solid i placed one mixer attachment to my hand mixer . inserted into co and whipped for about 4 mins.






we have been using ths mixture for 2 weeks before bed and have only one to two bumps per arm left.... this has been amazing and will be a staple in our home! might have to use a woodsy oil to get hubby to use it as
I love the smell but he thinks its to light..
