1/4 cup distilled water
1/8 teaspoon borax powder
1/2 cup mineral oil
1 teaspoon coconut oil
3 tablespoons grated beeswax
15 drops fragrance oil (your choice)
Boil water and add borax powder, stirring till dissolved. In a separate heavy saucepan over low heat, add mineral oil, coconut oil, and beeswax and stir until wax is dissolved. Once oils/beeswax mixture is melted and beeswax completely melted, add borax/water solution a few drops at a time while oil is in motion, either being stirred briskly with a wire whisk, or while the blender is engaged... if you add this too quickly you will not end up with a properly emulsified cream and it will want to seperate. Continue stirring until mixture becomes a thick cream and has cooled to room temperature spoon into wide mouth jar and close.
