An Easy to Make Cleansing Cream
½ tablespoon beeswax
1 tablespoon emulsifying wax 4 tablespoons baby oil
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons water
¼ teaspoon borax
1 tablespoon witch-hazel,
and a few drops of perfume
Mix the waxes and oils into an enamel bowl and melt
slowly in a pan of boiling water. In a separate bowl
heat the water and borax until the borax is
completely dissolved. Then add witch-hazel, but do
not leave it on the heat too long otherwise it will
evaporate. When the waxes have melted, remove
both bowls from the heat and mix in water, stirring
continuously. When the cream begins to cool, add
the perfume. Beat until the mixture thickens and
cools. Use of baby oil (which is a mineral oil) does
not penetrate the skin and spreads easily and
liquefies readily.
