Hand-made lilac flower lotion. You can do this, just 3 simple ingredients: oil infused with lilac flowers, water, bees wax. I used lilac flowers that grew in my yard but you can use any flower or herb that you like to infuse in oil. I used rose water, but you can use any floral water hydrosol that you like or simply use plain water. This lotion is silky smooth and feels wonderful on your skin. Recipe: clean all utensils & equipment that you will use. Measure 3/4 cup flower infused oil, 1 cup floral water hydrosol or plain water, 1/2 ounce beeswax. Slowly melt beeswax into oil in a double boiler. Once the wax is melted, set aside for a few minutes until a hard ring of wax starts to form around the edge. Pour water into a blender and turn on high speed. Slowly add the oil to the blending water. This forms a lotion. Do not over-blend. Put in a clean jar and keep refrigerated. This recipe does not have any preservatives so it must be kept refrigerated. You can always scoop some lotion out into a small bowl kept at room temperature to use that day, if you dont like the feeling of cool lotion on your skin. My lotions have kept perfectly in the refrigerator for up to a year. Enjoy!
