Title: Australian Frangipani Lotion
Categories: Lotion *
Yield: 8 Ounces

2	tb	Olive oil
2	tb	Coconut oil
1	tb	Light sesame oil
1	tb	Almond oil
1	ts	Grated beeswax
1/4	ts	Borax powder
1/4	c	Distilled water
1	tb	Rosewater
		Several drops frangipani oil or frangipani fragrance (found
3	tb	Distilled water

Combine the oils and beeswax in a glass measuring cup. Place in a water bath and melt the oils and wax.

While the oils-wax mixture is melting, dissolve the borax in the 1/4 c distilled water. Add the rosewater to the borax-water mixture.

When the oils-wax mixture has melted, heat the borax solution until just boiling (45 seconds in the microwave on High, or on the stove top in a water bath).

Remove the oil-wax mixture from the water bath and stir into it the borax solution. Allow the mixture to cool completely.

When cool, add several drops of frangipani oil. The more you add, the more fragrant your lotion will become. Remember not to add too much - you can always add more later.

Pour the complete mixture into the blender. On high, slowly add teh 3 tb distilled water, one tablespoon at a time, until you have a light, white lotion.

Spoon into a clean jar or container with a lid. Massage this cream into your skin and enjoy.
