Rosemary's Perfect Cream



Waters

2/3 cup distilled water or rose water
1/3 cup aloe vera gel
1 to 2 drops of essential oil of choice (geranium, lavender, rose, etc.)
Vitamin A & E

Oils

3/4 cup apricot, almond or grapeseed oil
1/3 cup coconut oil or cocoa butter
1/4 tsp lanolin
1/2 to 1 ounce (or 2 tbsp) of grated beeswax

Combine the waters in a glass measuring cup. Set aside.

In a double boiler over low heat, combine the oils. Heat them just enough to melt.

Pour the oils into a blender and let them cool to room temperature. The mixture should become thick, creamy, semi solid, and cream coloured.

When the mixture has cooled, turn on the blender to its highest speed. Pour the mixture slowly into the center vortex.

Blend until the mixture turns to cream

Pour into jars and store in a cool location

(I recently used evening primrose oil with the waters and a lot of vitamin e & a oil. It was a lot watery, and less thick and creamy compared to the previous batch. I also used neroli oil this batch and preferred the scent of lavender and rose only on the first batch.)
