Lanolin balm for dry skin - procedure

Into a container disinfected with ethanol (ideally made of heat-resistant glass) we weigh ingredients A and melt them in a water bath. Stir until the mixture is perfectly liquid.

Then remove the container from the water bath and let it cool at room temperature. When it starts to thicken, gradually stir in ingredient B – the arnica macerate.
To obtain a pleasant creamy consistency, it is good to use a hand electric mixer (whisk) and alternately cool the mixture in the refrigerator and whip it again.
When we repeat this procedure several times, we obtain a soft but firmer balm.

At the end we also add ingredients C, which improves not only the scent but also the quality of our balm.
