| Mindy Green's Moisturizer |
| 1 cup almond oil 1 cup water 3/4 oz. beeswax 30 to 50 drops of essential oil (your choice) |
| Grate the beeswax, add the oil and gently melt the two together in a double boiler. When the wax has melted allow it to cool for a few minutes, but not long enough for it to harden. Place the lid on the blender and remove the center ring. Pour the water into the blender using a wide-mouth funnel to reduce splattering. Turn the blender to high speed while slowly adding the oil and wax mixture. After about 3/4 of the oil has been added, the mixture will begin to harden. Turn the blender off and stir. Remove the stirring implement and restart the blender, adding the rest of the oil. Then add the essential oils. Don't over-blend. Put moisturizer into clean wide-mouth containers. Store any extra in the refrigerator. |
