Ingredients:

  • 5 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cold pressed sweet almond oil (i used aura cacia brand) or 1 1/2 tbsp jojoba oil
  • 1 -2 tbsp grated beeswax (less for softer cream, more for firmer cream)
  • 5 drops lemon essential oils (or other essential oil of your choosing)

Directions:

  1. Fill the bottom of a double boiler with water and bring to the boil. In the top, combine the coconut oil, almond oil and beeswax. Allow to melt and stir to combine.
  2. Remove pot from the burner and stir in the essential oils.
  3. Pour into a heat proof container and allow to cool completely before closing.
  4. My notes: Once the mixture cooled, I placed the container of hand cream in the fridge to become firmer. *Please* note the hand cream will melt if exposed to heat. I put a small amount in a sample container, placed it in my purse and an hour later the cream was liquified. It solidified again at room temperature. Why did this surprise me? ;).
  5. Makes approximately 3 1/2 ounces.
