Hydrating Hand Lotion

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.
