-
Mix Oil and Beeswax:
- In another glass measuring cup, combine the oil and beeswax thoroughly.
-
Create a Water Bath:
- Place the glass cup containing the oil-beeswax mixture in a pan filled with about 1-2 inches of water. This creates a gentle water bath.
-
Melt the Oil-Beeswax Mixture:
- Heat the pan over medium heat, allowing the oil and beeswax to melt gradually. Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure even melting. This process typically takes around 10 minutes.
-
Prepare Borax-Water Mixture:
- While the oil-beeswax mixture is melting, bring the borax-water solution almost to a boil. You can achieve this by microwaving the glass cup on HIGH for 1 minute or by heating it on the stove top using a water bath.
-
Combine the Mixtures:
- Once both mixtures are ready, remove the oil-beeswax mixture from the water bath. Slowly add the borax-water solution to it, stirring briskly to incorporate the ingredients evenly. Alternatively, you can blend the mixtures together for a smoother consistency.
-
Transfer to a Container:
- Pour the creamy mixture into a clean container with a secure lid, ensuring it’s well sealed to maintain freshness.
-
Usage Instructions:
- To use the cold cream, massage a small amount onto your skin, and either tissue off or rinse with warm water.
-
Note:
- Initially, the cream may appear white and fluffy but slightly runny. Allow it to cool completely to achieve the desired consistency. As no perfumes are added, the cream will remain unscented. However, if you prefer a scented cold cream, simply add a few drops of your favorite fragrance as the mixture cools.
