Heat on low until melted. Combine the water, grapefruit oil and borax. Heat for a few minutes (until warm) but do not boil. Combine the water mixture with the beeswax mixture.

| Ginger invigorates. Oil soothes. You can't loose with this lush dry skin buster. 2-inch piece of fresh ginger 2 teaspoons light sesame oil 2 teaspoons apricot kernel oil 2 teaspoons vitamin E oil ½ cup cocoa butter Preheat oven on lowest setting. Finely grate the ginger just enough so that you have about an 1/8 teaspoon of ginger "juice." To obtain the juice, squeeze the freshly grated ginger over a small bowl. Place the ingredients (including the ginger) in a glass container and heat just until the cocoa butter is melted and the oils are blended. Pour into a clean, dry container and store in a cool dry place. You can add a few drops of orange or oil for a nice twist. For smoother, silkier skin, use in combination with Salt Glow: healing body salt scrub |
