Excellent lotion recipe

[Emily Klesick]

Hi, this recipe is awesome! The lotion works better than any other lotions I have tried and it leaves your skin feeling moist. AND IT'S NATURAL! So you can feel good about using it!

Natural Lotion

2 Tbl. pure Beeswax
1/4 cup sweet almond oil
1 Tbl. natural liquid soap
3 Tbl water

Melt everything together but water, add the water little by little after the other ingredients are melted, mix well and pour into your contianer.

Alright, that post was kind of old... I have made some good changes to the recipe you might want to know about!

Add instead, of water, vitamin E oil, also 2 tbs. fresh aloe vera oil. I like to add a little bit of Tea Tree oil. Those changes make it really good for the skin as well as make it a creamier substance.

I usually put vanilla or Lavender E.O in it. Anything works though!

I was wondering why there is the need for the liquid soap. Does it act as an emulsifier because of the beeswax/water? I know most beeswax/water recipes use borax as an emulsifier.

I was wondering why the liquid soap too.
I'm not sure I would want to leave liquid soap on my face instead of rinsing off.
