#concoctions

i have a skincare routine because i'm allergic to my own sweat so i have to do like three or four different steps and it's a lot of work and can i just take an empty zyn pack and put a mixture of lotion, aquaphor, coconut oil, and witch hazel (and maybe vitamin e? and maybe clotrimazole or hydrocortisone [but obvs not both]?) into it and use that concoction all at once on my skin instead of trying to do each thing one at a time?

would these ingredients react with each other and explode?

what else could i put in there (leave-in conditioner?)

is there a way to make it more solid at room temperature?

So, I remember seeing a long time ago a recipe for a balm or salve that was used for pain relief, but I can't remember the ingredients.

The only things I can remember is that it was good for arthritis/general aches and pains and that, I think, a couple of the ingredients were Beeswax and maybe cinnamon???

I haven't seen the recipe in years and I can't remember where, but I was hoping to give it a try, considering my Grandma uses pain medication and the good ol' bureaucrats are deciding to basically shut down pain pill production for who knows how long.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Starting out by drying a bunch of orange peel (would be better if I really like orange.. now I have to eat a bunch, housemates are helping out though)

Orange peel after drying in the oven for a while and then next to a window :)
