Strawberry Cream Formulation (Recipe)

Submitted By:

Robert of Hyattsville, MD

Ingredients:

1/2 ounce Cocoa Butter
1/2 ounce Lanolin
2 1/2 ounces Apricot Kernel Oil
3/4 ounce Strawberry juice
3 drops of Benzoin

Instructions:

Thoroughly wash and drain several large, fresh strawberries. Mash and strain the juice through a colander or sieve(if you have a fruit/vegetable juicer, this will be easier). Heat the cocoa butter, lanolin, and almond oil in a double boiler(do this slowly, not to a boil). Remove from heat, and add strawberry juice very quickly. Beat briskly until fluffy(an egg whisk or electric mixer will do). Put into sterilized jars. Keep refridgerated. Apply each night, or when ever needed.
