1 tbsp. carnauba wax
1 tsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. hemp seed butter
1 cup rose hydrosol
1 tsp. borax
1- Mix the oil, butter, floral water and borax in a glass bowl. Borax, a natural emulsifier, binds oil and water to create an emulsion. This phase is
referred to as the "water phase" or "oil and water phase," of the soap and lotion making process.
2-Place the bowl in a microwave on high for three minutes. This heats the oil, water and emulsifier and allows the materials to mix together where it
would otherwise separate.
3- Add carnauba wax to the other glass bowl and melt it in the microwave for three minutes.
4-Pour the melted carnauba wax into the bowl containing the hot water and oil solution. Beat the mixture as you pour it in slowly.
5- Mix the contents of the bowl with a hand mixer for five minutes. A foamy white emulsion will instantly form. Pour the liquid into an empty lotion
bottle and let it cool to room temperature before securing the cap on it. Your carnauba wax emulsion is ready for immediate use as a skin cream or
hair conditioner.
