This easy recipe makes a rich hand cream.
* 3 tablespoons jojoba oil
* 1 tablespoon mango butter
* 1 tablespoon grated beeswax
* ¼ cup rosewater (or filtered water)
* 10 drops lavender essential oil
* 5 drops sweet orange essential oil
Warm jojoba oil, mango butter and beeswax gently over low heat until beeswax melts. Remove from heat. Warm rosewater over low heat. Remove from heat. When both mixtures are lukewarm, slowly pour liquid into oil, beating steadily with a wire whisk or an electric beater set on the lowest speed until cool, thick and smooth. Stir in essential oils. Spoon cream into a clean jar and let cool before covering.
