Solid cream

Today I made the solid cream  from the cacao butter, shea butter, apricot oil, stearic acid with es. oil cinnamon and clove. These ingredients guarantee a warm winter smell and pleasant efficient effect for a dry sensitive skin. I decide to use the stearic acid (octadecanoic acid)  instead of the beewax to make the skin softer.
Good to know that the stearic acid is one of many fatty acids that occur naturally in  many animal and vegetable fats and oils.The best application of the solid cream is on the wet warm skin, it means just after the bath. I have to admit that this solid cream melt very easy and gives special feeling of silky skin.
75% - cacao butter
23% - shea butter
2% - stearic acid
10% - apricot oil and es.oils: cinnamon and clove
