I sometimes replace the palm and sweet almond oil with other oils,

should stay the same.

226. Lotion Bar 10

For bug stuff???
I’ve also been thinking of putting Eucalyptus and Citronella in them
as an EO to help keep the bugs away. Was also thinking they’d be much
easier to take camping, too.

Massage Melts
2 tbsp beeswax
2 tbsp cocoa butter
1 tbsp thick honey or 1.5 tsp oil of preference (palm, olive,
almond, or
even jojoba)
5 - 10 drops of any eo if you prefer

Melt in bain marie (water bath) beeswax and then add honey (or oil)
and whisk together and then if using eo add it and combine well. The key
to this recipe is keeping the beeswax very hot while mixing. Pour into
mold and let set overnight in refrigerator.
Honey works very well and leaves no sticky feeling, but if you
prefer a softer bar then use the oils.

227. Lotion Bars
4 oz. beeswax
4 oz. shea (use cocoa butter for 1 or 2T of this)
3 oz. oil (avocado, apricot kernel, etc.)
1 oz. grape seed oil
fragrance or essential oil (optional)

Melt beeswax, then add cocoa butter and shea butter. When it is totally
melted, add the oils. Mix well, and pour into a liquid measuring cup and
allow to cool a bit. Add some FO or EO to this and pour into molds. If you’d
like, you can put in an extra 1 oz. with the main oils and leave out the
grape seed oil. All ingredients are by weight.

jars. In about half an hour the lotion will separate into 3 different layers.
Each
one a different color. Shake and it becomes an emulsion, let stand and it

229. MAYONNAISE FACE CREAM

2 fresh egg yolks
1 C. vegetable oil (sesame,
safflower or sunflower)
1 T. wheat germ oil
1 T. herb vinegar
2 drops perfume or rose geranium oil

Beat egg yolks in cold bowl. Add oil very slowly at first. Beat with rotary
beater, mixer or blender. Gradually add more oil. As mixture thickens, add
vinegar and fragrance. Beat until thick. Apply to face with upward and
outward strokes all over face and throat. Leave on for 20 minutes. Remove
with damp cloth. Follow with skin freshener.

230. MILK & HONEY LOTION

(instant conditioner and refresher)
1/4 C. milk or cream
1/4 C. honey

Mix milk (or cream) and honey in a small glass or enamel pan. Warm until the
honey melts, then remove from heat. When it is cool enough to tolerate,
apply to face and neck (or your entire body if you have time). Let it stand
for 15 minutes, then rinse or shower off with warm water. The mix can be
made in larger quantities, and it will keep for a week if refrigerated.

231. Mint Body Lotion

1/2 cup mint water (see note below)
1/8 tsp. borax powder
1/2 c. sunflower oil
1 tsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. grated beeswax
3-4 drops peppermint oil (optional)

Mix together the mint water and the borax, stirring until well mixed. Set
aside. Mix together the sunflower oil, coconut oil, and beeswax in a glass
measuring cup. Place the cup with the oils–beeswax mixture in a pan of
water (about 1 to 2 inches of water), making a water bath. Heat over medium
heat until the beeswax is melted (8 to 10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
When the wax is melted, bring the mint solution almost to boiling (put the
glass cup with the mint water/borax in the microwave on High for 1 minute,
or use a water bath on the stove top). Remove the oils-beeswax mixture
from
the water bath. Slowly add mint water/borax to the mixture in the blender
and whip).
Allow the lotion to cool completely. The consistency may seem a bit thin,
but it will thicken as it cools. The lotion will be pale green in color. You
may add the peppermint oil now if you wish. Pour the lotion into a clean
container with a lid. To use, massage a small amount into your skin.
Note: Mint water is made by boiling fresh or dried mint leaves in water and
then letting the mixture cool. Strain off the mint leaves. I use 1 cup fresh
mint (1/4 cup dried mint leaves) to 1 cup water.

mayonnaise - about 10 to 15 minutes. Once the mixture is uniform and
started to cool, add the fragrance oil and beat to incorporate. Beat
on high for a few minutes. When the cream is cold and smooth,

3/4 cup water
Fragrant essential oil (optional)

Chemically pure borax, which is required for cosmetics, is sold by
drug stores. In a microwave or double boiler melt the oil, lanolin and
beeswax to 160 degrees F. Heat the borax and water in a separate
container to 160 degrees F. Be sure the borax is dissolved and the
wax is melted. Add the water mixture to the oil mixture while stirring
briskly. When white cream forms, stir slowly until the mixture cools
to 100 degrees F. Pour it into small wide-mouth jars.

will be clear and jellylike; stir thoroughly and cool completely. When the

tablespoon at a time and stirring thoroughly.
243. ROSE CREAM

2 oz. almond oil
4 to 8 drops rose oil
1/2 oz. beeswax

Slowly heat the almond oil, beeswax and rose oil. Beeswax is the thickener,
so the more you add, the thicker the cream. It is best to start with just a
little. If, after the mixture has cooled, you decide you would like it to be
thicker, simply reheat it and add more beeswax. If you find that the cream
is too thick, reheat and add more almond oil. If you would like to add
vitamin E to the cream, cut open a vitamin E capsule and add gel inside to
the cream.

244. Sage and Sweet Violet Cream

leaves, along with 4 Tbsp of almond oil, in a small stopper jar. Seal and

beeswax which have been melted together. Beat to mix until cold. Store in
an
airtight jar in a cool place, and apply twice a day or as required.
This helps to alleviate cold sores and soothes and protects swollen,
painful, or chapped lips.

blender or whisk, blend until everything is emulsified. Add
fragrance oil. The cream will be very thin at this time. Pour into clean jars.

250. Whipped Crème

This is a very light cream good for all body areas…..its
especially nice scented cucumber and tinted very pale green.

14 oz. Distilled Water
4 oz. Oil ( your choice ) I used Almond
1.5 oz. Emulsifying Wax
1.2 oz. Stearic Acid
.8 oz Emulsifying Wax
.2 oz Germaben II
.1 oz. Fragrance Oil / Essential Oil
2 Drops Color

All items used to make cream should be sterilized
Combine over double boiler water and Citric Acid heat till it’s
totally melted, then add all ingredients except fragrance, color, and
Germaben II. When the mixture turns creamy color our into a blender and
whip
off and on till it cools ( this can take quite a while ). I usually whip
it for 5 minutes let it cool 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and
whip some more. You don’t want it to get so cool that you cant pour it, this
will
thicken in jars as it cools more. Makes approximately 20 ounces of cream.

To make it soothing add Aloe Gel
To make it less drying for ageing or very dry skin add a few drops
of Almond Oil and mix before adding final water.

body
scrubs. Do not premix with wet ingredients as this mixture will not keep if
wet. I use this mixture but exclude the meal for a daily face wash.
