Glycerine & Rosewater cleansing cream
Most recipes for creams follow this procedure. Waxes are melted in one
container while oils are warmed in another. All ingredients should be
about the same temperature when you mix them together or the mixture
may curdle. You can substitute any suitable herbal infusion for the
rosewater.
4 tbsp (60ml) lanolin
2fl oz (50ml) almond oil
1 tbsp (15 ml) glycerine
1/8 tsp (0.65ml) borax
3 tbsp (45 ml) rosewater
1 tsp (5 ml) zinc oxide ointment
6 drops essential oil of rose
1. Melt lanolin & gently heat almond oil & glycerine together
Slowly pour oil & glycerine mixture into lanolin, beating constantly
2. Dissolve borax in warmed rosewater & gradually add to the lanolin and
oil misture, beating all the time. Leave to cool
3. When cool and creamy, beat in the zinc, oxide and rose oil.
