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.

This cold cream is perfect for my oily skin. It helps to control shine and keeps my skin looking matte.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cold cream turned out lumpy and separated. It was unusable.

This cold cream didn't do much for my skin. It didn't hydrate it or reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

I found this cold cream to be too thick and difficult to apply. It also left a greasy residue on my skin.

This cold cream is a bit greasy for my taste. I prefer something that's a little lighter.
