Basic Hand Cream

What You Need

1 tablespoons Sodium Laurel Sulfate Liquid
½ cup Cetyl Alcohol Flakes
2 tablespoons sweet almond oil
2 tablespoons liquid glycerin
1 tablespoon stearic acid
2 1/2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon fragrance oil or essential oil
1 drop color
1 Vitamin E Capsule
1/2 teaspoon Germal Plus (preservative)

Place first 5 ingredients in a double boiler.  Stir until crystals are dissolved and becomes transparent. If any of the crystals are not dissolved, you will have little particles in the cream once it is made that you cannot get rid of. If particles appear on your spoon, wipe it off with a paper towel before using to stir the mixture again. Mixture may appear "gummy". Remove from heat. Then add water, fragrance, dye, vitamin E and mix well. Allow to cool slightly. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Pour into containers. Avoid contact with eye area when using.
