Thank you for sharing this recipe – I can’t wait to try it!
I wondered,would it work as well to replace the rose hydrosol with neroli hydrosol? The smell of roses gives me migraines.

Hi Ana, thanks for stopping by and your kind words!
Yes there are other natural emulsifiers, I wrote a post about it: https://organic-beauty-recipes.com/top-5-natural-emulsifiers-in-diy-beauty-products/
I have heard about Radish root ferment but have not used it to date, so cannot comment!

Hi Eve!

I hope you´re ok despite this pandemic year.
Thank you for your recipes and tips. I love your blog!!
Last year, during my fourth pregnancy, I developed a severe eczema (on the face); know, I’m ok but my skin has become intolerant to beeswax. How can I replace it? Do you know any other natural emulsifier?

Concerning the preservatives, do you know radish root ferment? What do you think about it?

Namaste!
Ana

In reply to Christine. I have never made the lotion, when you liquify the butters and whisk everything together won’t the butters and bees wax turn solid? So the shelf life for this lotion is 30 days, I’m just curious? I make my body butters for me but I try and make for a year for winter and summer. I would like to make my lotions so I can use them as well.

Hi Eve, if there is water in it, ie the hydrosol, doesn’t there need to be a preservative?

I made this yesterday and added about 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin. Very nice lotion. I used by immersion blemder which over heated before reaching the right consistancy but survived ok anyway. My hands feel very silky and the lotion absoebed in a few minutes. Thanks.

Hi Christine, no rose hydrosol is not the same as rose oil. Hydrosols, also known as “flower waters,” are produced by distilling the rose flowers and the end product is a water (not the essential oil).
For the beeswax, I recommend this one: https://amzn.to/35akbSW
