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.
