| Dissolve the borax in the water in a glass measuring cup
and set aside.
Mix together the oil and beeswax in another glass measuring cup. Place
the glass cup in a pan of water, making a water bath. Heat the oil-beeswax
mixture in the water bath over medium heat until the beeswax is melted,
stirring occasionally.
When the wax is melted, bring the borax-water mixture almost to
boiling. Remove the oil-beeswax mixture from the water bath. Slowly add
the borax water mixture to it, stirring briskly. Add the cucumber juice to
this mixture and stir thoroughly. You can whip the mixture in the blender
if you wish.
Cool completely and pour into a clean container with a lid. The cream
will thicken as it cools. To use, massage a small amount into your skin and
tissue off and rinse with warm water.
