Basic Cleansing Cream
7 ounces almond or apricot kernel oil
3/4 ounce beeswax
10 ounces distilled water
1 teaspoon borax
25 drops rosemary essential oil
15 drops lavender essential oil
10 drops orange essential oil
Place beeswax and base oil in a heatproof measuring cup in a hot
water bath. Stir occasionally until the beeswax is melted. Remove
from heat and let cool to body temperature.
Meanwhile, dissolve borax
in distilled water that you have heated to body temperature and add
the essential oils to this borax/water blend. Pour the oil mixture
into a bowl and begin beating using a one-blade hand mixer. Slowly
add the borax water, beating until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
