Cin's

I got my original recipe from a nurse at the hospital in the late 1950's and adapted it to my liking over the years...this is how I make it now. RECIPE USUALLY YIELDS APPROXIMATELY 50 TO 60 OUNCES

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 - (1 lb) jar of aquabase or hydrobase (you have to order from a pharmacists)
1 - (4 oz) bottle of glycerin
1 ounce(s) baby oil gel (or baby oil)
3 ounce(s) aloe vera (clear gel)*
4 ounce(s) vitamin e (clear gel)
3 1/2 cup(s) water
*ALOE VERA IS OPTIONAL DUE TO ALLERGIES

Steps:

  • 1. Combine first 5 ingredients together in a LARGE mixing bowl.
  • 2. Add 1-cup of the water and mix with mixer on high for 3 minutes.
  • 3. Add the rest of the water 1-cup at a time; mixing for 3-minutes after each cup is added.
  • 4. After all the water is added, mix for approximately 15 minutes (so all ingredients are well blended and lotion becomes fluffy).
  • 5. Divide cream into clean dry jars for gift giving or for your self.
  • 6. You can put cream into small mason, ball or kerr jars with lids.
  • 7. NOTE from CinStraw: I use old antique AVON jars as they make nice gift jars. Just wash them out with mild soapy water, rinse well and dry completely before filling with lotion-cream. If it ends up on the thin side, then I call it "LOTION", if thicker (as it usually is) I call it "CREAM"...depends on the base you can find to use. I loved Unibase best BUT it has been discontinued, so we can not get it anymore. Therefore I have been using Aquabase instead for some time now. It is a base the doctors and nurses used to mix their medication creams with.
