Sandalwood skin cream:
Sandalwood skin cream:
This rich, lightly fragranced cream is excellent for very dry skin. Use sparingly on the face, neck and hands - and more lavishly on dry areas such as elbows and heels. Beeswax and cocoa butter are available from herbal and mail-order aromatherapy supplies.
25ml sweet almond oil
2tsp beeswax granules (or 4 tsp grated beeswax if using a block)
10ml diluted sandalwood oil
10g cocoa butter
15ml distilled water
3 drops pure Neroli essential oil
2 drops Frankincense essential oil
Put the sweet almond oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until the wax and cocoa butter are dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the sandalwood oil, then slowly add the distilled water, stirring constantly. Add the essential oils and keep stirring until the mixture thickens. Spoon into a clean glass pot. The cream will keep for 2 - 3 months in the fridge.
