Mango Magic Face Cream
3 Tablespoon Mango Butter
1 Tablespoon Almond Oil
a couple drops of Soap Crafters Fragrance
This is a wonderful face & body cream. It is pure oils so you barely use any on your face and body. When I use it, I first put it on my hands and rub it in, then I rub my face. That is the perfect amount. We get so used to using commercially prepared creams and lotions that are mostly water and filler. This is just pure goodness :)
Melt 3 Tablespoons of mango butter in a very small pot on the stove. A metal 1 cup measuring cup works great. Make sure the mango butter temperature reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit. (This removes the graininess from the mango butter.) Then remove from heat and add the 1 tablespoon of Almond Oil and a few drops of your favorite Soapcrafters Fragrance. Stir, pour into small containers like our 1/2 clear jars , and let cool for a few hours. It will be the consistency of frosting. If you would like it a bit thinner you can stir in about 1 teaspoon more of almond oil.
It is really best to use very small jars and keep the others in the refrigerator until you need them. Dipping your fingers into a cream will put bacteria in there over and over again. So work with small amounts and change to a new batch every couple of weeks

Hi, I tried making this
Hi, I tried making this lotion and it came out really thin and watery. Is there a mistake in the directions? I melted it down again and added stearic acid, citric acid, emulsifying wax, Germaben II and distilled water. Then I really mixed it well with a stick mixer. It came out really great, and was the consistency of frosting.
I made enough of it to give as gifts for the Holidays. It smells so delicious!
