Moisturizer for Eczema

I originally used this moisturizer for a natural sunscreen facial moisturizer.   Zinc Oxide is a natural sunscreen.  You have to apply it often when you are outside.  Make sure you get the non-nano zinc oxide.  You can also use it in deodorant, body powder, friction sticks, and diaper cream.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup beeswax

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/4 cup apricot oil

1/4 cup grapeseed or safflower oil

1/8 cup shea butter

a few drops vitamin E

1 to 4 tbsp zinc oxide

Lavender and tea tree essential oil (or choose from list below)

Directions: Melt ingredients together in a double boiler.  Add essential oils at the end. Pour into your favorite container.
