Homemade Cold Cream
It can be used as a cleanser to remove makeup and dirt….and, when left on overnight, softens skin and relieves dryness.

1/4 cup distilled water
1/2 cup mineral oil, or another oil that is liquid at room temperature (Almond is nice)
1/2 ounce (by weight) grated beeswax (or just a little over two tablespoons)
Dissolve the borax in the water in a (one cup) glass measuring cup. Set aside.
Add together the oil and beeswax in a larger (2-cup) glass measuring cup.
Heat the oil/beeswax mix in a microwave until the beeswax is melted and the mixture is clear. (Start with 30 seconds at a time).
Heat the borax/water mix in a microwave for a minute – almost to boiling.
Slowly pour the borax/water mixture into the oil/beeswax mixture, using a stick blender to mix as you pour. Now beat well with the stick blender until the mix is glossy white and thicken.
Pour the (hot) cold cream into an 8-ounce jar with a lid.
Let it cool to room temperature.
