Teach Soap

Ok, I am having trouble making up my mind on a lotion recipe, or finding one that is possibly what I want and that will not make my hands and/or body feel oily or greasy.

Here is a recipe that I found and thought that it may be what I want. Also, I am not very familiar with preservative names. I have been reading about preservatives on BB. Let me know how the ingredients are, if this lotion will be moisturizing (but not greasy), if there are any preservatives listed, and if there are not any listed, what would a good pres. be and how much would I need to go with this recipe.

Here are the ingredients:
Body Lotion
*3/4 cup water
*1/2 teaspoon borax

*3/4 cup grapeseed oil

*3 tablespoons grated beeswax

*10 drops essential oil, fragrance oil, or soap fragrance (I want to use the Sweet Pea fragrance oil---will that work fine?)

*5 to 6 drops soap color (I want to use the pink liquid colorant---will that work fine?)

Also, please let me know what I can use in place of the grapeseed oil because BB does now have it.

If this is not a good recipe, please lead me to a good one online.

Thanks,
Ky. Kelly

Beeswax and Borax emulsions are not stable. This is not a good recipe. Lotions have water in it, so you will need a preservative. You can find lots of recipes here. http://www.lotioncrafter.com/lotioncraf ... ulary.html
