Rose And Lemon Verbena Tea Soap 玫瑰檸檬馬鞭草茶皂

薏仁美白皂 Job's Tears Soap

I was planning to cook Job's tears chicken soup early in the morning. Just an idea came to me to save some of Job's tears extract for making soaps. 

1. Job's tears soaked in water for 2 hours. Then used vitamix to blend it. Strained and freezes the liquid as ice cubes for replacing water. 
2. Rose geranium essential oil.
3. The lye water was quite sticky, added a few distill water for better stir.
4. Used hand blender to mix the batter. Not really fast trace. When reached light trace, added essential oil. Then whisked the batter. It came to trace quickly at this stage.

3. Shea butter: 3g

Very delicate texture. Easy to absorb and light.

Aloe Rose Anti-Aging Skin Cream

This cream is inspired by {The Nerdy Farm Wife}. Click the link and you can see Jan's recipe: {Aloe Rose Anti-Aging Skin Cream}.

However, I like to have lighter texture and made some modifications.

1. Sunflower oil: 13g
2. Resehip oil: 7g
3. Shea butter: 3g
4. Beeswax: 0.5g
5. Olive emulsifying wax: 7g
6. Preservative: 0.5g (according to the brand you use)
7. Rose hydrosol: 50g 
8. Aloe vera gel: 20g

Strained the pulp from the cream.
The cream is soft and a little bit sticky.
When applying to skin, it is absorbed quickly.
Quite light and moisturizing.
