Hello
Some time ago there was a request for recepies for hand lotion. I had to
find the book first (profitable beekeeping by Dr Laurie Croft, Elmwood
books 1986) but here it comes:
"Hand Cream:
BeesWax 10 Oz
Liquid Parrafin 1 pint
Water # pint
Using a double saucepan (what is that?) the beeswax is heated with the
liquid parrafin until it has all melted. The hot water (containing a few drops
of perfume) is added with stirring. Continue heating and mixing until all is
well blended. Cool slowly and continue to stir until it begins to set. Pour
into small jars."
 
I must say that I have not tried it myself- yet -- but good luck.
The book cited here is a good one, and contains more recepies (Mead,
face cream, shoe polish etc.)
regards
 Morten
