Scott- "Wife had a cold sore, told her to try it.. cold sore seemed to die in its tracks...   Luck? Or was it the propolis tincture??

    Okay now you gotta try it for deoderant  ;)  Same way, just buff a few drops onto each underarm and see if you can make it thru the day without underarm odeur.

I can make it one day ~ See? Fresh as new spring day ~

The name of my lotion is 'Let it Bee', I make it at home and sell it down town. It contains no chemicals, parabins, or additives.

I have two recipies ~ basic winter/summer lotion, and a summer lotion with an natural spf of about 15.

Ingredients: extra light olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, vitamin e, raw honey, aloe vera juice, chamomile tea, rose absolute essential oil, distilled water, vegetable wax as an emulsifyer to marry the oils with the waters.

This is food for the skin. You can actually eat it!
A dollup on a baked potato a little salt and pepper.... no I'm only kidding  :D

Making it is too hard to explain, but it's simply a pan of oils and a pan of water, two thermometers, get each to the right temperature and combine.

I just started extracting two days ago.  This will continue for the next couple of weeks and come Friday I must take off and extract the TAMU Honey Bee Lab's honey.  Production this year is somewhat up.  After the drought of 2011 everything looks up < I fed perhaps a ton of sugar just to keep bees alive that year.

Here's some of that liquid gold that I spun out.
