As a
follow up to my previous post, this is a hand lotion formula. The lotion is especially good for soothing sun-damaged
skin.
Ingredients:
- 10 tablespoons purified water
- 2 tablespoons beeswax
- ½ teaspoon powdered borax
- 4 teaspoons flaxseed oil
- 4 teaspoons safflower oil
- 2 teaspoons sweet almond oil
- 2 teaspoons apricot kernel oil
- 2 teaspoons vitamin E oil
- 4 teaspoons liquid vitamin A
- 3 teaspoons cocoa butter
- 2 teaspoons jojoba oil
- 1 teaspoon essential oil of rosemary
- 1 teaspoon essential oil of peppermint
- 1 teaspoon essential oil of orange
- 1 teaspoon glycerin
- ½ teaspoon of tincture of benzoin
Formulation Process:
- Place safflower oil, sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil,
vitamin E oil, vitamin A oil, cocoa butter, flaxseed oil, jojoba oil, glycerin,
and beeswax in a container over low heat with stirring until all solids melt:
- In another container, mix water and powdered borax over low
heat until all solids dissolve;
- Blend two mixtures together until the mixtures cool and turn
white;
- add essential oils and tincture of benzoin to the mixture; and
- blend
the mixture until it thickens to form a soft fragrant cream.
Thanks for reading.
