Ingredients:
- 1-2 cup Sweet Almond Oil
- 1-2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/8 cup Beeswax
- 1/8 cup Cocoa butter
- 1 1/2 cups Water
- 20 ish drops of which ever combination of essential oils your senses prefer.
For example Chamomile, Rose, Lavender, Peppermint, Bergamot.
- Gently heat oil (do not let boil) and melt beeswax in separate pots.
- When the oil and the bees wax have reached approximately the same temperature use the above measurements and add oil and beeswax together.
- Let sit until cool, the concoction will turn to a soft salve like consistency.
- Once cooled put approximately one cup of salve mixture into food processor, and turn the food processor on.
- Slowly, add water, and keep adding water for about 30 seconds, turn the food processor off and check the consistency.
- Use your spatula to take the water droplets off the edges of the processor, turn the processor back on and slowly add more water until all the water is blended with the oil and beeswax and the cream is to your desired texture.
- The salve and water should now be a white whipped cream like texture.
- Scoop the cream out of the processor and into a bowl and add your favorite essential oils.
- Last but not least, its time to put your cream into a clean jar and label your very own home made skin care
