That's exactly the kind of thing I've been looking to make! Any

possibility you'd be willing to share the recipe, or at least approximate

proportions?

 

Thanks bunches!!

ACK! On my out the door, gotta make this quick before I get caught by

the old " himself " .

 

1 ounce bees wax

1 cup oil

warm and melt gently

 

If you add cocoa butter you can subtract the same the amount of bee's

wax or add more oil. the shea. Some people melt it. That's not

necessary, just whip it either before hand (which is what I do) or

together with the melted wax and oil.

 

Now this will make a pretty " stiff " cream, you can lighten it up by

adding a bit more oil. This stuff makes a wonderful emollient. AND a

nice solid perfume.

 

One word: sometimes it crystalizes... this does not mean it goes

off... just happens over time. The crystals melt on contact with warm

skin.

 

Sure hope this helps. Anymore questions? there are plenty of folk who

can help with this.... ACK... Himself is HERE!
