How would I make a skincare product for jock itch with my Magical Butter?

Creating a skincare product for jock itch requires combining natural antifungal, soothing, and moisturizing ingredients. A balm, cream, or spray can help alleviate itching, reduce redness, and combat the fungal infection. Here's how you can make one using your Magical Butter Machine:

1. Ingredients

Base Ingredients:

• Coconut Oil (1 cup): Antifungal and moisturizing properties.
• Shea Butter (½ cup): Hydrates and soothes irritated skin.
• Beeswax (2 tbsp): Creates a protective barrier and gives the product a solid texture.

Active Ingredients:

• Tea Tree Essential Oil (10–15 drops): Strong antifungal and antibacterial properties.
• Lavender Essential Oil (10 drops): Soothes inflammation and calms the skin.
• Eucalyptus Essential Oil (5 drops): Reduces irritation and promotes healing.
• Zinc Oxide Powder (2 tbsp): Helps protect and heal the skin.

Optional Add-Ins:

• Calendula Flowers (dried, ½ cup): Anti-inflammatory and soothing.
• Aloe Vera Gel (2 tbsp): Cools and moisturizes irritated skin.

2. Tools

• Magical Butter Machine
• Glass jars or tins (for storage)
• Strainer or cheesecloth
• Rubber spatula

3. Instructions

1. Infuse the Base Oil:

   • Add coconut oil and dried calendula flowers (if using) to the Magical Butter Machine.
   • Set the temperature to 130°F (55°C) and run the cycle for 1 hour.
   • Strain the oil using a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer to remove the flowers.

2. Melt the Ingredients:

   • Add the strained coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax to the Magical Butter Machine.
   • Set the temperature to 130°F (55°C) and allow the ingredients to fully melt and combine.

3. Incorporate Active Ingredients:

   • Once melted, add the essential oils, zinc oxide powder, and aloe vera gel (if using).
   • Use the "blend" feature for a few minutes to ensure everything is well-mixed.

4. Pour into Containers:

   • Carefully pour the mixture into sterilized glass jars or tins while still warm.
   • Let it cool and solidify at room temperature.

5. Label and Store:

   • Label the containers with the product name and date.
   • Store in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness.

4. Usage Instructions

• Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2–3 times a day, ensuring the skin is clean and dry before application.
• Discontinue use if irritation occurs or if symptoms persist after a week (consult a healthcare provider in that case).

5. Additional Tips

• Patch Test First: Always test the product on a small patch of skin to ensure there are no allergic reactions.
• Maintain Hygiene: Use clean hands or a sanitized applicator to avoid contaminating the product.
• Natural Preservative: Add vitamin E oil (1 tsp) to extend the shelf life and provide additional skin benefits.
