Subject: Here's that recipe I promised eons ago

It's for a body lotion. I used coconut oil (solid at room temperature) and find that while you don't have to refridgerate this particular lotion you do have to heat it up and remix before using. I think next time I'll try something other than coconut, perhaps sweet almond. As you can guess, it's not the creamy consistency of the store bought stuff. It's rather oily but gets absorbed very quickly.

3/4 cup cold pressed oil
1/2 ounce beeswax
1 cup lukewarm distilled water
Essential oils

Place oil and beeswax in the top of a double boiler (or rig one up). Heat slowly until beeswax melts. Remove from heat and allow to cool for several minutes. Place water into a blender and turn on high. Add oil mixture through the top hole (you know, the thing you can unscrew) a little at a time while continuing to mix on high. You should see it begin to thicken after a minute or so. Add essential oils and blend one more time.
