DIY Hand Balm for Dry Skin on Hands

Try this simple recipe for a homemade hand balm. It perfectly nourishes dry and even cracked skin – especially on typical areas such as elbows, heels, and hands. The balm has a soft texture, melts in your hands, and absorbs quickly.

Thanks to the combination of plant oils and active ingredients, this cosmetic intensely moisturizes and nourishes the skin. The formula is 100% natural and contains no artificial additives that could irritate the skin.
Jojoba oil and shea butter regenerate, soften, and protect the skin from drying out, while squalane and camellia seed oil support the restoration of the skin's protective barrier.
Pomegranate oil and ceramides have a regenerative effect, soothing irritation and improving skin elasticity.
D-Panthenol calms the skin, and the addition of hyaluronic acid ensures deep hydration, leaving the hands smooth, soft, and the skin firm and elastic.

Ingredients for approx. 50 ml of hand balm:

Fat Phase:

• 10 ml Jojoba oil
• 5 ml Shea butter (optional mango butter)
• 15 ml Squalane (from olives)
• 10 ml Camellia seed oil

Active Ingredients:

• 5 ml Pomegranate seed oil
• 3 ml Ceramides
• 10 drops D-Panthenol
• If you have very dry skin – add 10 drops of 4% Hyaluronic acid

Preparation:

1. Melt the entire fat phase until the ingredients are well combined (avoid overheating!).
2. Allow the mixture to cool (to approximately hand temperature).
3. Stir the active ingredients in thoroughly.
4. Transfer the balm to a jar.

🌸 If you want a fragrant product, you can add a few drops of essential oil (just be careful to choose products that won’t irritate the skin).

Notes:

• This balm is also suitable for the sensitive skin of babies and children (in this case, please omit essential oils!).
• The amounts of ingredients can be measured using the common "eye measurement" method. The ingredients are safe, and even slightly larger amounts will not harm the skin.
