How to make home made Vaseline with important oil and vitamin E

almost 3 years ago

Hello Hiveians

Vaseline has been a major petroleum jelly we have used in our home for a long time. Before the advent of mixing creams and different industrial body lotions we have been using Vaseline along side palm Carmel oil to moisturize the skin, hair and for healing of wounds itching and other body discomfort.

My Aunty likes to make these items at home instead of purchasing the the ready made ones which you are not quite sure of the kinds of ingredients used

The two major ingredients used are

Beeswax
Pure Olive oil.
Fragrance.

Others can make similar Vaseline in this manner with other added ingredients such as Vitamin E oil, coconut oil, castor oil and lanolin.
Each of these oil play an important function on the skin. For instance vitamin E oil is important for wound healing, treatment of scars and burns, prevents itching and moisturizes skin.

Procedure for making Vaseline.

This is a simple process where you first melt the beeswax over medium or low heat with continuous stirs.

When these is properly melted you add other ingredients, the olive oil vitamin E and fragrance to the liquid beewax, stir properly and pour into containers.

This is allowed undisturbed to solidify after which it can be stored and used for various purpose.

In any instance you want to try this home made Vaseline, you can get these ingredients at a chemical store and ask for more enlightenment and precautions if any.

This is how we make our home made Vaseline that we use anytime of the year.
