| 2 tablespoons beeswax |
| 1 tablespoon emulsifying wax |
| 4 tablespoons unperfumed baby oil |
| 3 tablespoons rose-water |
| 1/4 teaspoon borax |
| 5 drops essential rose oil |
| 3 drops red food color |
|
| Apply this cream to the face and throat. Leave for a few
minutes, then gently remove it with cotton wool soaked in an equal mixture
of witch-hazel and rose water, or for those with really dry skin, three
parts rose-water to one part witch hazel. Baby oil is used because it is
not absorbed by the skin. |
|
| Place Broken pieces of solid ingredients in separate
jars and heat them in a pan of water, simmering until they have melted.
Measure the melted ingredients into a heat resistant basin over a pan of
simmering water. Measure and stir in the oils, but not the perfumed
essential oil. Pour the water (orange water etc.) into a heat resistant
container. Add the borax and heat gently until it dissolves. Rmove the
basin (melted wax and oils) from the pan and add the borax water. Mix
thoroughly . Place the basin in a shallow dish of cold water and continue
beating. Add the essential oil and beat until the mixture cools and
thickens. Transfer the cream into screw top jars. |
