Keeping your cuticles soft and healthy is key to healthy nails and nail growth! This recipe for cuticle cream is nourishing to the cuticles and skin around them, plus the essential oil combination helps inhibit bacteria. Remember, never cut your cuticles. If you need to push them back, do so very gently with an orange stick.
This recipe will make two small jars (of size pictured) of cuticle cream. These jars are glass, and you can find similar ones at craft stores and on Amazon (these are pretty cute). You could also use little metal tins!
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. beeswax pellets
- 6 drops tea tree essential oil (or melaleuca)
- 6 drops lavender essential oil
- Place a mason jar inside a small pot of water on the stove top.
- Place olive oil and beeswax inside the jar and heat over low/medium heat, stirring as needed until melted.
- Remove from heat and add tea tree oil and lavender oil. Stir.
- Pour into glass jars or metal tins and allow to cool before using.
