Honey Rose Beauty Balm |
Our huge thanks and gratitude to Karen from The Fragrant Alchemist for this wonderful and comprehensive formula. Very much appreciated Karen :o) This luxurious balm can be used as a hot cloth cleanser, a facial massage treatment or as an intense, rich moisturising treatment for dry or ageing skin. 10g Jojoba Oil Melt the beeswax and Shea Butter in a bain-marie or bowl over a pan of hot water on the hob. Add the remaining ingredients except for the essential oils and stir gently until everything is liquid. Remove from the heat and add the essential oils. Keep stirring the mixture gently as it cools to mix in the Manuka Honey as this will not totally dissolve with heating. As you mix you will notice the mixture getting thicker and the honey will start to blend in. You can help this along by placing the bowl in iced water or put it in the fridge for a few minutes. Once it is a thick but pourable consistency, pour into a clean 100ml jar to set. Recipe by Karen http://www.thefragrantalchemist.com |
