Almond Joy Body Lotion - A Body Lotion Recipe

This almond body lotion recipe will relieve even the driest skin.

1/2 cup water
1/8 tsp. borax powder
1/2 cup almond oil
1 tsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. grated beeswax
2 Tbsp. honey
3-4 drops orange Essential Oil (optional)

To Make This Body Lotion Recipe: Mix water and borax together, stirring until well mixed. Set aside. Mix together the almond oil, coconut oil, honey, and beeswax in a glass measuring cup. Place the cup with the oils-beeswax mixture in a pan of water (about 1 to 2" of water), making a water bath. Heat over medium heat until the beeswax is melted (8 to 10 min.), stirring occasionally. When the wax is melted, bring the water/borax solution almost to boiling (put the glass cup with the water/borax in the microwave on High for 1 min., or use a water bath on the stove top). Remove the oil-beeswax mixture from the water bath and pour into blender. Slowly add water/borax to the mixture in the blender and whip. Allow the lotion to cool completely. The consistency may seem a bit thin, but it will thicken as it cools. You may add the orange Essential Oil now if you wish. Pour into a lidded container. To use: massage a small amount into your skin.

This body lotion recipe leaves your skin feeling and looking radiant.  The Almond Joy Body Lotion feels silky-smooth and smells terrific. This body lotion is a lavish and invigorating way to treat your skin.

It is easy to make an affordable, skin nourishing and pampering bath and body product. Feel free to substitute or add other essential oils to personalize your body lotion recipe. The recipe can be left without fragrance or essential oils can be added for therapeutic benefit.

Cocoa butter lip balm

For 20gr:

• 5gr Beeswax
• 5gr Cocoa Butter
• 10gr Jojoba oil or Almond oil

Melt beeswax, cocoa butter and oil together in bain-marie. When the mix is liquid, quickly pour into small containers and let set.

* It moisturizes  chapped lips and it is smooth to apply, although i would recommend putting the mixture in retractable lipstick tube, cause it gets too hard to be put in a small pot.
