Daily body cream
Prep Notes
Safety instructions:
- Approach boiling water and melted ingredients with caution and use proper protective equipment;
- If you store the finished product in a glass container (I recommend avoiding plastics), it is particularly important that it is pre-heated so it would not shatter when in contacy with the hot oils;
- Once filled, allow the container to cool down at normal room temperature. No refrigeration required
Ingredients
- 100 ml coconut oil;
- 50 ml almond oil;
- 2 tbsp beeswax;
- 5 drops of essential oil lemon (or other favorite aroma)
- 1 drop of jojoba oil
Directions
- Prepare the melting tools and load them with water to the appropriate level;
- Add the oils and beeswax to melt the water bath;
- When the water boils, reduce the heat and let it simmer;
- When all the ingredients melt, stir lightly and pour in a storage container;
- Add the essential oils and stir again;
- Leave it to cool down
Notes
- Jojoba oil is a natural preservative, but is not a must-have;
- If the scent of your base oils is sufficient, you can omit using essential oils;
- The amount of beewax determines the density of the cream and the temperature at which it solidifies. Wintertime you may use less of it to make yhe cream softer
