Maintain your supple skin in dry winter air with a light, buttery, homemade skin moisturizer that doesn’t leave an oily film.

We all need a good moisturizer in winter. This one is light, fluffy, and easily absorbed, and doesn’t leave an oily film on the skin. It contains stearic acid powder, which gives the cream a lighter feel and texture than beeswax. Stearic acid is a natural butter acid obtained from fats and oils. It can be found at some natural food stores and online shops that specialize in herbal and cosmetic ingredients. Yield: 12 ounces.
