MOISTURISER RECIPE

Equipment:
2 heat proof jugs or bowls
2 pots that will hold the bowls or jugs
Digital scales
Spoons for mixing
Whisk, handheld or electric is fine
2-3 containers that hold at least 100g in volume
Ingredients:
10g sweet almond oil
20g evening primrose oil
1g vitamin E
10g cocoa butter
10g Shea butter
8g Emulsifying wax (E-wax)
8g beeswax
35g rose water
45g spring water
Your choice of essential oils (8-10 drops in total)

Suggestions:
Combination/Dry skin - Neroli, Geranium & Frankincense (3 drops of each)
Oily skin - 5 drops of Lavender & 3 drops of Grapefruit
Method:
Weigh the first 7 ingredients into a heat proof jug or bowl and place over a pot of simmering water.
Weigh the rose and spring water into a different heat proof jug or bowl and place over a pot of simmering water.
Once all the ingredients in the first bowl have melted, remove both bowls from the heat and pour the water in with the oils.
Stir gently with a spoon for 2 mins. This 2 mins of stirring is important as you don't want the mixture to separate.
Then take whisk and whisk briskly until the mixture thickens up.
Once the cream has cool a little and before it gets too thick, add your chosen essential oils, stir then pour into jar/s.
Its always a good idea to write the name and date on your product once you have made it.
This product will last 8 weeks, keep in a cool dark place. Or keep in the fridge you will get another 2 weeks out of it.
Discard after this.

Notes:
If you are unlucky and the mixture doesn't combine, all is not lost, simply pour out excess water and you will have yourself a rich
hand or body cream.
If you find the consistency of this moisturiser a bit too dense for your liking, you can play around with your next batch and add
more spring or floral waters. Infact, experiment all you want to by using different oils, butters and waxes. I do recommend using
e-wax as opposed to all beeswax, as you will find you will have less of a problem getting all your waters and oils to be able to com-
bine with each other.
