smellywax Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Beeswax and borax can both be usedTogether or seperately and in the same amount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Do some searches on google and you should be able to find some recipes. Both those ingredients together make an emulsifier - ewax itself is made up of a combination of ingredients.Beeswax and borax is more stable for creams, though, which are water in oil emulsions (more oil that water). It won't be quite as stable in a lotion, which is an oil in water emulsion.Snowdrift has a great article on emulsions - beeswax/borax is mentioned in the third column http://www.snowdriftfarm.com/what_is_hlb.htmlAnd here are some example cream recipeshttp://www.glenbrookfarm.com/face_creams.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
