Step 1:
Extract the juice from ginger by finely grating it. Put the grated ginger into a cheesecloth bag and squeeze the juice into a small bowl. Alternately, you can buy bottled ginger juice at some natural food stores.
Step 2:
Combine 1/8 teaspoon ginger juice, 1/2 cup cocoa butter, 2 teaspoons light sesame oil, 2 teaspoons vitamin E oil, 2 drops orange essential oil and 2 teaspoons light apricot kernel oil in a double boiler. Stir constantly until the ingredients are melted and well blended. Pour into sterilized containers and store in the refrigerator or another cool, dry place.
Step 3:
Heat 1/2 ounce cocoa butter, 2 1/2 ounces apricot kernel oil and 1/2 ounce lanolin in a double boiler. Stir until it's melted and whisk in 1/8 teaspoon ginger juice and a few drops of sweet almond oil. Continue to whip until it's well mixed. Pour the cream into sterilized jars and refrigerate. This mixture is best if used at bedtime.
Step 4:
Melt 1 tsp. beeswax and 1 tsp. lanolin together in a double boiler, stirring constantly. In a separate pan, warm 1 tbsp. almond oil and 1/2 tsp. wheat germ oil. Once they are warm, gradually beat them into the melted waxes. Continue to beat constantly until the mixture has cooled. Mix 1/8 teaspoon ginger juice with 3 tbsp. rosewater and 5 drops of essential oil of rose. Gradually add to the wax and oil mixture, constantly beating. Spoon the cream into sterilized jars and store.Advice on making a face cream?
I'd add a little bees wax and honey to the mineral oil, you could also try olive oil, or a silicone based moisturizer as very few people are allergic to olive oil, and no one is allergic to silicone
