Rich Night Oil and Rich Night Butter

© Sinclair A. Sheers

These oil and butter recipes are for dry skin. I use them, especially on my hands and feet, before I go to sleep at night. They are full of nourishing, moisturizing ingredients. If you don't have or don't like any ingredient, leave it out. The Rich Night Oil is a liquid; when I make it, I put it in a bottle. The Rich Night Butter is solid; I store it in a salve jar. I bought both the bottles and the salve jars from www.soapcrafters.com. I bought the ingredients from www.soapcrafters.com, www.sweetcakes.com, or www.from-nature-with-love.com.
