I'd start with tallow, infuse it with plantain & calendula, and melt it 3pts tallow:1pt beeswax, for a firm lotion bar, or 5pts tallow: 1pt beeswax, for a soft balm. Part of the magic comes in not drying your hands, completely, before applying it. Be patient, though, and it will absorb, very well, into your skin. I have, when out of lotions and balms, simply used a bit of tallow, straight up, and that helps too.
