Anti-Itch cream

[Sapwn]

Taking advantage of the information and the answers I got in this forum I made a natural anti-itching cream.

The ingredients used for their anti-itching properties are the following:

Almond oil

Mango Butter

Calendula

Rosemary

Lavender

German chamomile

　

　

I had already Calendula-infused Almond oil and Rosemary-infused Olive oil. They were made with cold process extraction for about two months.

　

The exact recipe is the following:


23gr of oils:

8gr Calendula-infused Almond oil

8gr Rosemary-infused Olive oil

7gr Mango butter


126gr of water:

German chamomile infusion

　


6.5gr emulsifying wax

　

Lavender essential oil:

30 drops


Conservative: Optiphen

　

The cream must cure in the fridge for a few days.

I have to see yet if it actually works.

This sounds like a lovely cream and it looks good. I'd be interested in hearing how it turns out for you. Thanks for sharing!

Looks great. Can't wait to hear if it works to stop or relieve itching.

Thank you all for the comments!


I have had 6 itching attacks since I made this cream and it worked all the time.

Applying on the hands, rubbing them, wait two minutes and the itching is gone!

I don’t know which of the ingredients helps more, but all together seem to do an excellent job. However, it doesn’t last for hours. After 30-60 minutes, itching could return and I have to apply again.

Overall, I am very satisfied.

I'm glad it's working for you.

If all else fails try straight Calendula infused oil. I love the stuff its like the mystical magical helper of all things!

I want to try this so bad. With the allergies I have a lot of rashes that itch and use a lot of cortisone cream. Anything to substitute for rosemary? Or maybe I'll just leave it out and use calendula. I can't use any plants that have "resins" or "saps" and I love rosemary, especially with cooking.

Hello Mel!

I believe that rosemary is one of the basic anti-inching ingredients of this cream and I suppose so because I remember a soap that I made some time ago with plenty of dried rosemary inside that was having anti-inching properties. I remember my hands calming down after using that bar.


But if you cannot use it go ahead and make the cream without it.
　

I made this cream very light because I am using it on the palms of my hands and I don’t want it to be greasy. If you prefer a more dense cream you can simply reduce the amount of water maintaining the others without any change.


Good luck and I will be waiting to hear if it worked for you or not! :?:

I made a balm with rosemary, spearmint, and peppermint essential oils and that works on my mosquito bite itching also. Who knew!
