Actually, the recipe is for a Moisturizing hand gel. Basically a lotion

without an emulsifier like beeswax, stearic or e-wax but instead uses the

arrowroot powder to thicken it. The coconut oil is suspended throughout the

gel so it's kinda emulsified.

 

I mentioned the rinsing of my hands because the way I made it with one tbps

of glycerin made it a bit sticky for my taste. So I rinsed my hands after I

rubbed in the gel. Next time I make it I will probably just do one tsp

glycerin to avoid having to rinse off the sticky feel.

 

Sorry for any confusion.

 

Happy Crafting!
