This patent provides skincare formulations for treating and alleviating skin disorders, including dermatitis, rough skin, cracking, itching and psoriasis. The formulation includes only natural ingredients. All oils in the formulation are unadulterated or minimally processed and do not result in irritation to the skin or other harmful side effects.

Ingredients: a) 907 grams (32 oz.) shea butter (pure or minimally processed); b) 453 grams (16 oz.) mango butter; c) 226 grams (8 oz.) sweet almond oil; d) 226 grams (8 oz.) apricot kernel oil; e) 170 grams (6 oz.) jojoba oil; f) 141 grams (5 oz.) grape seed oil; g) 85 grams primrose oil; h) 28 grams (1 oz.) Vitamin E oil; i) 680 grams (3 cups) pure beeswax alone; j) 56.69 grams (4 tablespoons) of German chamomile; k) 42.52 grams (3 tablespoons) carrot seed oil; l) 42.52 grams (3 tablespoons) rosemary extract essential oil; m) 28.34 grams (2 tablespoons) atlas, Virginia, or any pure essential cedar wood oils; n) 42.52 grams (3 tablespoons) rosewood essential oil; o) 56.69 grams (4 tablespoons) rosehips oil; p) 7.08 grams (½ tablespoon) grapefruit seed extract; and q) 28.34 grams (2 tablespoons) essential tangerine oil, sweet orange oil, or mandarin orange oil.  Finally, 226–340 grams (8–12 oz.) sterile water may also be added.

 Preparation: Ingredients (c)-(g) and one-half of the beeswax are heated to 100° F. until melted. As soon as the oils are melted, they can be blended with water if desired. Ingredients (h) and (j)-(q) are then poured into the mixture. The mixture is blended for five minutes and then poured into a warm, clean container. The container is sealed and stored overnight. After twenty-four hours, the mango butter and the remaining beeswax are melted together. The mixture which had been set aside overnight is then emptied into a blending container, and then slowly, preferably at a rate of one ounce per five seconds, the melted mango and pure beeswax are poured into the container. The shea butter is then added into the mixture. The entire mixture is then blended for approximately five minutes and then allowed to aerate. The mixture is then poured into clean containers, covered with breathable, sterile cloth, and set aside for forty-eight hours. In all instances where heating or melting of the ingredients is required, a double boiler, stainless steel pot is preferably used.

Ingredients: a) 42.52 grams shea butter (3 tablespoons); b) 42.52 grams mango butter (3 tablespoons); c) 56.69 grams (¼ cup) almond and apricot kernel oil; d) 42.52 grams (3 tablespoons) evening primrose oil; e) 42.52 grams (3 tablespoons) jojoba oil; f) 42.52 grams (3 tablespoons) grape seed oil; g) 14.17 grams (1 tablespoon) rosehips oil; h) 14.17 grams (1 tablespoon) Vitamin E oil; i) 680 grams (3 cups) pure beeswax; j) 14.17 grams (1 tablespoon) essential carrot seed oil; k) 14.17 grams (1 tablespoon) rosewood essential oil; 1) 14.17 grams (1 tablespoon) atlas, Virginia, or any pure essential cedar wood oils; m) 14.17 grams (1 tablespoon) rosemary extract oil; n) 28.34 grams (2 tablespoons) of German chamomile oil; o) 3.54 grams (¼ tablespoon) grapefruit seed extract; and p) 3.54 grams (¼ tablespoon) essential tangerine oil, sweet orange oil, mandarin orange oil, or any essential orange oil.

The remaining ingredients, (g), (h), and (j)-(p) are combined into the mixture (preferably by hand). The mixture is then placed in rectangular molds and allowed to harden. After the mixture has hardened, it is removed from the molds, wrapped, and packaged, if desired.

Ingredients (a) thru (e) are mixed together in a separate, heated container (preferably stainless steel) until melted. This mixture is also allowed to cool to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. When both mixtures have cooled to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, they are mixed together until they have reached “trace”. Trace is reached when the mixture has thickened somewhat, similar to the consistency of pudding after it is cooked. Ingredients (h), (i), and (j) are then added to the mixture. Ingredients (k) and (1) are added to the mixture last and mixed for about thirty seconds. The ingredients are then placed in a mold and set aside for about twenty-eight to forty-eight hours.
