ROSE OINTMENT RECIPE

Take 1/2 Cup of Rose Water, 1/4 Cup of Coconut Oil, 1/3 ounce of Beeswax chips and 6 drops of Rose Otto pure essential oil. Melt the oil and beeswax together over a low heat. Whip in the rose water and add the essential oil. Apply to dry skin, lips, heels and nails.

ROSE FACE & HAND CREAM RECIPE

Take 1 ounce of Lanolin, 2 ounces of Almond Oil, 1/2 ounce of Beeswax, 2 ounces Soy Oil, 1 ounce of Rose Water and 3 drops of Rose Otto pure essential oil. Melt the Lanolin and Beeswax in the double boiler. Add in the Soy oil and stir. Slowly add the Rose Water and essential oil. Stir until the cream cools and solidifies somewhat. Then jar and pop in the fridge.

Have a rosy weekend ahead playing with herbs and flowers! Love reigns supreme.
