Honey Cream Formula

Here is a rich golden skin cream formula that helps to maintain your skin’s integrity with several emollient ingredients–including some from the hardworking honeybee.

This is a luscious recipe for smooth, silky, soft skin. Protect the largest organ of your body in the cooler months ahead! Here’s how:

INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon grated beeswax
1 tablespoon shea butter
1 tablespoon wheat germ oil
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon rosehip seed oil
800 IU Vitamin E
2 drops lemon essential oil
2 drops sandalwood essential oil
2 drops geranium essential oil

1. Place the beeswax, shea butter, and wheat germ oil in a heat proof container and melt the ingredients over boiling water. When ingredients have melted, remove from heat source.

2. Whisk in the honey, rosehip seed oil, and Vitamin E. Occasionally whisk the mixture as it cools. When it is cooling, add the essential oils and mix well.

3. Store in a low wide-mouth jar.
