nails

I have found that this removes the white lines in my nails. It is great for the skin around mail nails.
Nail Ointment
1 jar Rose Ointment
10 drops V6 oil
4 drops geranium oil
4 drops Palo Santo
4 drops Citrus Fresh
4 drops myrrh
Scoop out Rose ointment into a stainless steel double boiler. Warm the ointment until it melts. Remove from heat and pour into glass measuring cup with a pouring spout. Add V6 oil and essential oils, swirl gently with a toothpick. Pour back into Rose ointment jar, re-label or pour into smaller jars, label and give as gifts. Using a cotton swab, apply a small amount to nail bed and massage in, twice daily.

Nail Butter
2 tbls beeswax
2 tbls cocoa butter
3 tbls jojoba oil*
1 tbls grape seed oil*
20 drops essential oils—rose, carrot, rosemary, geranium and sandalwood—4 drops each.
* In place of these two oils you can substitute 4 tbls V6 oil.
Combine beeswax, cocoa butter and jojoba oil in a saucepan and warm on low heat in a double-boiler until cocoa butter and beeswax have melted. Remove from heat and add the essential oils. Stir well, let cool slightly and pour into jars. Use a Q-tip swab or orange stick to get a small amount of the cream from the jar. Apply to nails and massage with your fingers.
