Waters:
2/3 Cup water (distilled, rose water or pre-boiled tap-cooled)
1/3 cup aloe vera gel.
about 6-10 drops of essential oil of choice (scent)
1/4 tsp vitamin E
Oils:
3/4 cup apricot, almond or grapeseed oil. (my fav is almond, but any of these are good)
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/4 tsp liquid lanolin
1/2 to 1 ounce bees wax.
1-combine all the waters in a glass measuring cup.
2- in a double boiler on low- melt the beeswax and then add all the oils. Heat on low till everything is melted.
3- Pour the melted oils into the blender and let it cool to room temp. This is important: it must be completely cooled off or it will separate. Oils will become a soft solid.
Turn the blender on high and add the waters by a very slow stream into the middle of the vortex. You'll hear the blender cough/choke as it whips up and turns thick and white, like butter-cream.
Use a spatula to pour into jars:)
I ADORE this stuff!!
