Peppermint Body Lotion

Peppermint body Lotion  

 ¼ tsp borax

1 tsp beeswax

1 tsp lanolin

2 tbsp petroleum jelly

5 tsp apricot kernel oil

4 tsp cold pressed sunflower oil

10 drops peppermint oil

Dissolve the borax in 2 tbsp boiling water. Melt the beeswax, lanolin, and petroleum with the apricot kernel and cold pressed sunflower oil in a double boiler. Remove from heat once the wax melts and stir well to blend. Add the borax solution, whisking as you do so. The lotion will turn white and thicken but keep whisking until cool. Then stir in the lavender oil. Store in a cool dark place.
