Hand and foot lotion (for spring/summer time)

I wanted something natural, easily spreadable and not too thick or greasy.

This lotion does not contain preservatives or emulsifiers (usually needed when you mix water and oils)!
It's only made of sterile water, beeswax, sweet almond oil (that penetrates skin in few minutes) and vegetable glycerine.
I didn't use a stick blender, but I've hand-whipped it.
Being all natural, water-based and without preservatives it would be advisable to keep it in the fridge especially during very hot months and to use it as fast as you can (in few weeks or so).
If you use less than 40% of water, the emulsion shouldn't separate, but in case some water comes off you can drain it off and normally use the cream.
This lotion is moisturizing and soothing thanks to the sweet almond oil!
Healing and calming for my incredibly dry skin!

One more way to combine soy wax and gel!

The followings are all two-layered candles with the bottom layer made of gel and the upper part made of soy wax . Why combining the two of them? Because gel is transparent and allows you to embed objects and soy wax has an incredible scent throw and a long burning time ! Few simple rules for embedding objects: ideally they should be non flammable (like glass animals, shells or stones)! ...but if you do not exaggerate with the amount, you also can potentially use cinnamon sticks, dried flowers etc... To be on the safe side: if you use flammable objects I'd anyway suggest you to pour the thinnest layer of gel as possible (just to cover the embeds) and avoid burning this layer. And remember: never ever leave lit candles unattended! Let yourself be inspired and give it a try! Gel embeddings: glitters (blue candle) or sea shells (peach candle). Soy wax: caramel-scented. G el embeddings: cinnamon sticks G el embeddings: cinna...
