Time 15m

Yield 8 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/8 teaspoon borax
1/4 cup distilled water
1/2 cup olive oil (extra virgin is best) or 1/2 cup light cooking oil (such as canola or sunflower)
2 tablespoons grated beeswax
1 teaspoon rose water (optional)

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.
