Today,Martin showed me how to make "Skinsal", this is an old family formula invented by his Grandfather in the 1890's. It was sold in the family pharmacy until 1980 (by three generations of Pyes), when Martin became a farmer and grazier. He made a batch two years ago at the request of his niece, and since then jars have been given to many of our friends for use as a lip balm. After numerous requests for more, he agreed to show me how to make another batch.
The formula contains simple ingredients that were commonly available then, hence no modern chemicals. He has sworn me to secrecy. (Though I am not sure how serious he is!)
