It is not a good idea to try melting the wax in the microwave because it can burst into flame if it hits flash point.
*** Double boilers are best and safest! ***

Lotion Recipes Are Great For Making At Parties!

For cleansing and soothing the skin

52 oz white beeswax
½ Cup almond oil
½ tsp borax
¼ Cup rosewater

This recipe gives you a basic all-purpose cold cream/moisturizer, which you can add scented oils to, if you’d like. Melt wax in a double boiler and add almond oil. Melt wax over low heat, stirring constantly to combine the ingredients.
Take off heat and dissolve the borax in the rosewater and slowly pour into melted wax and oil, whisking constantly (the whisking is
important). Continue whisking as it turns milky and thickens until mixture cools. When at a thick pouring consistency pour into glass jars or ceramic pots.
Makes 7 oz. of cream.

2.5 oz (weight) beeswax
2/3 cup baby oil
1 TSB borax (sodium borate)
4 oz (weight) anhydrous lanolin
¾ cup water
Fragrant essential oil-optional

Chemically pure borax, which is required for cosmetics, is sold by drug stores. In a microwave or double boiler melt the oil, lanolin and beeswax to 160 degrees F.
Heat the borax and water in a separate container to 160 degrees F. Be sure the borax is dissolved and the wax is melted.
Add water mixture to oil mixture while stirring briskly. When the white cream forms, stir slowly until the mixture cools to 100 degrees.
Pour into small wide mouth jars.

3 TBS paraffin

Really good for damage control
4 TBS Beeswax
4 TBS Cocoa Butter

Custom

1/8 tsp of Borax
¼ C distilled water
½ C almond oil
1 TBS grated beeswax
Fragranced essential oil of choice

Combine borax and distilled water; set aside.
Heat almond oil and beeswax together until beeswax is almost melted. Remove from heat and stir. Heat borax and water mixture to almost boiling. Slowly pour water into heated oils while stirring with a wire whisk. Once the water is completely mixed into the oils allow the mixture to cool. Once it is completely cool add the essential oil or oils of your choice for fragrance.
Makes about 8 ounces.

½ Cup paraffin
1 Cup mineral oil
½ Cup water
2 TBS Alum

Slowly heat paraffin with the oil in a double boiler. In a separate saucepan, heat the water until it simmers, then dissolve the alum in it. Let cook, then add to the warm mineral oil and paraffin mixture.
As everything cools, the paraffin will rise to the top. Drain off the water. The residue is your makeup remover.
