Cold & Flu Bar, updated directions

Posted in Handwork and Crafts

Cold and Flu Bar from Craftbits.com http://www.craftbits.com/viewProject.do;jsessionid=a7sbDVIo2PC6?projectID=16

I made a number of these for family and friends for Christmas this year. They are simple to make and work wonderfully. I had a mild chemical burn (dry, itchy, flaky skin) on the back of my hand and rubbed this for 2 days on it. It completely disappeared!! So, even if you don't have a cold, this is great for your skin!!

To answer morningsunshine's question below:

I understood it as 1/2 tsp of Vicks per bar (approximately). So... I believe I used 2 pounds each of the beeswax, coconut oil, and cocoa butter and I added Vicks till it smelled strong enough to me. I may have added 4 tablespoonfuls - I can't remember for sure. Also, I used a no brand "Vicks" with ingredients that appeared on the label to be all natural.
I hope this helps. They really are a wonderful skin product!!

okay, question... this says "one part" of threee ingredients... that part makes sense, but 1/2 t vicks etc. doesn't make sense unless you have measurements for the others! did you use 1 cup of the others or 1/4 c - it would make a difference in the strength of the vicks....
