Make Your Own Homemade Hand Salve (With Our New DIY Kit!)

Make Your Own Homemade Hand Salve (With Our New DIY Kit!)

There’s something extra special about making your own skincare—knowing exactly what goes into it, customizing it to your needs, and ending up with something that’s both useful and satisfying. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce our Bee Craft Balm Bundle!

This kit makes it easy to create a nourishing, all-natural hand salve right at home—no fancy equipment or hard-to-find ingredients required.

What’s Inside the Kit?

Each kit includes everything you need to get started:

  • 1 oz beeswax block – the foundation of a rich, protective salve

  • 1 empty 8 oz jar – ready to fill with your finished hand salve

  • 3 oz jar of Champlain Valley raw honey – a natural humectant that helps lock in moisture

  • 1 recipe card - how we recommend using these ingredients!

All you need to add at home is:

  • Olive oil or coconut oil (or a mix of both!)

  • Your favorite essential oils for scent and extra skin-loving benefits

How to customize:

  • Prefer a thicker salve? Use more beeswax and less oil

  • Prefer a softer salve? Use less beeswax!

  • Want something richer? Try coconut oil over olive oil

This kit is perfect for beginners, DIY lovers, or anyone who wants a more natural option for hand care. It also makes a thoughtful gift—either as a kit or once you’ve made the salve yourself.
