| Dissolve the borax in the water in a glass measuring cup
and set aside.
Mix together the oil and beeswax in another glass measuring cup. Place
the glass cup in a pan of water, making a water bath. Heat the oil-beeswax
mixture in the water bath over medium heat until the beeswax is melted,
stirring occasionally.
When the wax is melted, bring the borax-water mixture almost to
boiling. Remove the oil-beeswax mixture from the water bath. Slowly add
the borax water mixture to it, stirring briskly. As the mixture cools, add
the 1 tsp. rosewater and stir well.
Pour the cooled cream into a clean container with a lid. It will
thickens as it cools. Massage a small amount into your skin and tissue off
or rinse off with warm water. |
