Ingredients:

1 oz Sweet almond oil
1 oz Apricot Kernel oil
1 oz Grapeseed oil
.6 oz Emulsifying Wax
.3 oz Stearic acid
1/8 tsp citric acid
26 oz distilled water

Instructions:

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat almond and apricot kernel oils, e-wax and stearic until melted. Stir in grapeseed oil. In a separate bowl, mix water and citric acid and heat in microwave. Add oil mixture to water mixture and blend with a stick blender to ensure complete emulsification. Allow to cool several minutes. Add vitamin E, glycerin and preservative and mix well. Fragrance as desired. I fragrance mine by the bottle in lieu of a whole batch. You may use any combination of light oils to make 3 ounces. Aloe vera may be substituted for a portion of the water and added after heating the water and citric acid.
