Share
Use: for rough, dry, or chapped complexions and help promote healthy looking skin. This cream is a great moisturizer and an emollient agent.
Ingredients:
- 4 oz. sweet almond oil
- 1 oz. beeswax
- 2 oz. water
- 10 drops Vitamin E oil
- 10 drops lavender essential oil
Melt the oil and the wax in a double boiler, remove from heat, add water, and stir thoroughly.
Add your Vitamin E, essential oil and stir continuously until cool.
After you have added the essential oil and the cream is still warm enough to pour, carefully pour it into Salve Jars or Metal Tins.
IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP: Beeswax melts at 143-148 degrees. It is pliable at 100 degrees. All waxes will ignite explosively when they reach their flash point temperature. To melt beeswax safely, place it in the top of a double boiler, or place the container of wax in a larger container of hot water. Do not melt beeswax in a microwave, as it could become hot enough to ignite. Do not cover the beeswax while melting in a container of water, as steam may condense on the inside of the cover resulting in water in the wax. To measure a small amount of beeswax, grate it before melting.
