| 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.
Allow the lotion to cool completely. Stir in the almond extract in to
the cooled lotion. The lotion will thicken as it cools.
Pour the cream into a clean container with a lid. To use, massage a
small amount into your skin.
