Homemade Cold Cream Recipes

BASIC COLD CREAM

Steps:

• Dissolve the borax into the water in a measuring cup and set aside.
• Mix together the oil and beewax in the top of a water bath.
• Heat the oil-beeswax mixture over medium heat until beeswax is melted, stirring occasionally (8-10 minutes).
• When the wax is melted bring the water-borax mixture almost to a boil, either in a separate pan or in the microwave.
• Remove the oil-beeswax mix from the water bath and slowly add in the water-borax, stirring briskly. (Alternately, both mixtures can be put in a blender and whipped).
• If using rose water, stir in as the mixture cools.
• Store in a clean container with a lid. Product should store indefinitely.
• Mixture should be white and fluffy after beating, but still remain a little runny until completely cooled.
• To use: massage a small amount into your skin and tissue off or rinse off with warm water.
