Cleansing cream with cocoa butter


This gentle cleanser will remove most types of make-up. Apply it to your face and neck and leave on for five minutes. Wash your face with warm water to remove and finish with a toner:

·         1 teaspoon grated white beeswax
·         25 g lanolin
·         1 teaspoon cocoa butter
·         40 ml olive oil
·         40 ml rosewater

Melt the wax in a bowl set over a pan of boiling water, and then add the lanolin and cocoa butter: When the mixture has liquefied, add the oil and heat to 65 C. Warm the rosewater in a heatproof dish to the same temperature .Remove from the heat and blend in the rosewater, using an electric hand-mixer on a low setting, until the creamed mixture is cold and thick. Transfer to a jar, seal and store in a cool place.
