Ok, so is it really possible to make lotion with beeswax? Everyone I've heard from says it separates.
Yes, beeswax is a very important ingredient in so many lotions. It is what thickens it. If some one is having trouble with it separating then they have done something wrong or their recipe is off.
You come up with so many amazing ideas! So many of my friends can use this in place of store bought products.

Can I replace the beeswax with cornstarch?
Alligator skin be gone! After 20 years of trying different lotions, this is the first one to really work. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
So glad to hear that Julie!! Happy to be of assistance.
RVirgie, I must have missed this comment from way back. Sorry about that. You can probably use cornstarch instead of beeswax but it will have a different feel and consistency. It might work though.
where can i get rose oil?
