2 tablespoons apricot kernel oil (or almond oil)
1/4 cup walnut oil (or grape seed oil)
1/4 cup stearic acid powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh baking soda
1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
1 cup water (or rosewater)
Combine the oils and stearic acid powder in a heat-resistant container. Combine baking soda, aloe vera gel, and water in another heat-resistant container. Heat oil mixture in a water bath until mixture is a clear liquid and all the stearic acid powder is melted. Heat water mixture until just boiling. Slowly add 1/3 of water mixture to the oil mixture and stir. The combination will foam slightly as carbon dioxide is released. Pour into a blender and stir. Add rest of water mixture in a slow, steady stream and blend on high. The mixture will be a white fluffy cream. Spoon the cream into a container and allow to cool completely. To use, massage a small amount of the cream on your face and neck.
