So…. I am really interested in making cold cream. I NEVER wash my face in the sink. I am a complete klutz and am guaranteed to end up with water all over myself and the floor. But I would like to use a cold cream. Because I would feel fancy doing so.
Right. So I pulled a recipe out of a book I have. It’s pretty simple- beeswax, sweet almond oil, castor oil, aloe vera juice, FO, and preservative. First of all, I didn’t take pictures because I was not too confident in my attempt. SO you’ll have to use your imagination. Make sure you imagine a lot of profanity.
I pretty much melted the things that needed to be melted, combined everything, and then used a whisk to hand-mix it. Then I poured it into 2 glass jars that I bought *just* for this occasion. It totally separated. The beeswax solidified on top, and left the liquid oils down below. I was butthurt about it.
But still, there was a shimmer of hope. *I COULD MAKE THIS WORK.* I just had to re-melt it and mix it better. So….I microwaved it. For 20 seconds. And one jar exploded. Along with my dreams. I just trashed the other jar, too.
Goodbye, cruel world.
