Balm with lanolin for dry skin - procedure

Weigh the A ingredients into an ethanol disinfected container (preferably made of heat resistant glass) and dissolve them in a water bath. Stir until the mixture is perfectly liquid.

Then remove the container from the water bath and leave at room temperature to cool. When it starts to thicken, gradually add ingredient B - arnica macerate.
To get a nice creamy consistency, it is a good idea to use a hand-held electric beater (whisk) and alternately chill the mixture in the refrigerator and whisk again.
Repeat this process several times to obtain a soft but stiffer balm.

Finally, we add the C ingredients to improve not only the smell but also the quality of our balm.
