Hemp Milk Cuticle Balm
Positioned specifically for cuticles that are inflamed, not just dry, hemp seed oil's anti-inflammatory fatty acids are the differentiator versus the Almond Milk and Goat Milk cuticle balms elsewhere in this book, which target dryness alone.

Method & application
- Melt beeswax pellets and sweet almond oil in a double boiler until liquid.

Kitchen note
Rubbing your finger directly on the balm's surface (rather than scraping with a nail) is the intended application method, it uses body heat to portion exactly the right small amount.
