Ingredients

• 1/2 oz (15g) Beeswax
• 1/2 oz (15g) Cocoa Butter
• 2 oz (50g) Coconut Oil
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) Sweet Almond Oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoon (6ml) Lemon essential oil
• 1/2 teaspoon (2ml) Ginger essential oil
• 4 tablespoons (60ml) mineral water

Method

1. Over a low heat, slowly melt the oils (coconut and sweet almond), beeswax and cocoa butter in a large heavy - based stainless steel saucepan. Add the water to the pan slowly and then beat vigorously until smooth.






2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and continue stirring until the cream cools down to body temperature (37 C). Add the essential oils (lemon and ginger) and mix thoroughly.






3. In order to prevent the water and oil separating continue to stir until completely cool before transferring into an airtight glass jar. Clear jars must be kept in a dark place to preserve the essential oils.


4. Before you go to bed, have a warm bath and massage the cream into your feet, then put on some cotton socks and leave the cream to work overnight.
