Cream Instructions

A How-to for a pleasant cream from wax, oils, and a hotplate.

Winters in northern climates can be very dry, which affects the skin. As, summer sun in southern
climates burns and bombards skin with electromagnetic radiation including light, alpha particles,
beta particles, gamma rays, x-rays, neutrinos, and the source of all cosmic energy on the planet
itself.
No matter where you are, or who you are - you should be looking after your largest organ, your skin.
(Even if you stay inside all day, you are still exposed to neutrinos.) In this workshop you will
learn how to make a healing cream with aloe Vera you can put on cuts, scrapes, burns, chapped skin,
etc.

Why Make Cream?

1.1 In Northern Climates
1.1.1 Relative Humidity
As the temperature of the outdoor air cools, it's characteristics change. As it gets colder, outdoor
air holds less moisture. Thus, when a heating system reheats already dry-cold-air it's specific
enthalpy goes to the edge of the (psychometric) chart. Meaning, this air will readily absorb
moisture; it will dry stuff out. Which can lead to issues like chapped lips.

This chart shows that if the air was as humid as possible at 5deg, when you heat it up
to 23deg its ready to absorb moisture.

1.2 In Southern Climates

1.2.1 High intensity sun
Direct insolation
is the solar irradiance measured at a given location on Earth with a surface element
perpendicular to the Sun's rays (IE: the equator). Thirteen billion times brighter than the next
brightest star; at the equator one would experience approx 1,368W/m2 of infrared, visible,
ultraviolet, and x-ray radiation from the sun
Projection effect
The angle of the earths surface relative to the suns rays effects the intensity of solar
radiation / insolation per unit of area.

This figure shows that as the angle increases between the direction
at a right angle to the surface and the direction of the rays of
sunlight, the insolation is reduced in proportion to the cosine of
the angle; see effect of sun angle on climate.

1.2.2 Insect bites

Not only to put the bites, but you can make an insect repellent cream to prevent them from biting.

What are the cream goals?

2.1 Protect the skin
Oil layer seals moisture in the skin

2.2 Heal the skin

Aloe Vera is an all-natural healer

2.3 Keep bugs+infection away

repellent and anti-septic

How to make the balm?

3.1 Base
Unlike many step-by-step guides which are able to list amounts down to the milliliter, making balm
depends very much on local conditions; it's impossible for-an exact formula to achieve the desired
results in every location at all times of the year under all conditions. Because beeswax may have a
lower or higher melting point in some regions, or the jojoba oil is thinner in your region, or
because any number of other reasons including temperature there is no way to give a fixed ratio of
ingredients. Therefore mixing miscible oil and wax proportionally to achieve the desired firmness at
the range of temperatures you desire is the base of actual balm making.
