BEESWAX IS AMAZING 蜜蜡的妙用

蜜蜡与油脂混合可以做出不同形态的护肤品 ： 护唇膏， 药膏， 油饼， 乳霜和乳液。无需复杂的材料或工序， 在家就可DIY. 图中所示就是我自己做的紫草护理膏， 乳油木果脂润肤膏以及可可脂润肤霜。

蜜蜡 – 正确名称应该是蜂蜡 – 是蜜蜂筑巢时分泌出的树脂物资。 纯天然无毒， 具杀菌, 锁水及柔软肌肤的功效， 会在皮肤上形成一层保护膜， 所以是做护唇膏的理想材料，此外， 也可取代乳化剂将油水融合成霜状或乳状的成品。

做法其实很简单， 只要将喜欢的油脂和蜜蜡一起隔水融化， 再加入喜欢的精油与植物萃取物搅拌均匀就行了。 这里介绍简单的可可脂乳霜做法：

材料：可可脂30 g， 甜杏仁油 20， 蜜蜡 5 g, 薰衣草花水 100 ml,

• 10-20滴

做法： 将油脂和蜜蜡隔水加热融化， 离火搅拌均匀， 再加入花水快速搅拌至乳状就行了。 这时候可以加入喜欢的精油.
