Cooking Ingredients for Homemade Hand Cream Recipe

1-1/4 c Stearic acid (powder)
12 oz Glycerin
1/2 oz Strong ammonia (28% or
-stronger) (1 Tbsp.)
1/2 ts Borax powder (99% pure)
1/2 ts Paraffin wax; grated
16 oz Warm water; (2 c.)
Perfume and color to suit**

Homemade Hand Cream Preparation

**I use 2 teaspoons of perfumed body lotion and 1 to 2 drops of red food color. Put stearic acid, glycerin and wax in a crock on low heat, until all is well melted. Then add the 1/2 ounce of ammonia and stir fast with a wooden spoon (this will look a little milky). Have Borax dissolved in warm water; add, stir and immediately start beating (on low speed). Take off stove and beat until it looks like whipped cream. When cool, add perfume and color. Note: Use no metal (plastic measures or glass are fine).
