Camel Milk Overnight Moisturizer
This is a true emulsion, beeswax acts as both a thickener and a natural emulsifier that holds the water (camel milk) and oil (almond oil) phases together instead of letting them separate on the shelf.

Ingredients
- Phase A (Water Phase)
- 2 tbsp (30 mL / 30g) Liquid Camel Milk
- Phase B (Oil / Lipid Phase)
- 2 tbsp (30 mL / 28g) Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus dulcis)
- 1 tsp (4g) Cosmetic-Grade Beeswax Pellets
- Phase C (Humectant)
- 1 tsp (5 mL / 7g) Raw Honey
Method & application
- Prepare a double boiler over low heat. Combine sweet almond oil and beeswax pellets in the Phase B heatproof glass beaker. Heat until wax is completely melted (approximately 65–70°C).
- In a separate heatproof glass vessel, gently warm Phase A camel milk to approximately the same temperature (do not boil).
- Slowly pour the warmed camel milk into the melted oil/beeswax mixture while continuously whisking or using a mini battery-operated hand mixer.
- Stir in the raw honey.
- Continue whisking continuously as the emulsion cools and thickens into a rich cream consistency.
- Transfer to a sanitized glass jar and allow to cool completely before capping.
- APPLICATION
- Scoop a pea-sized amount using clean hands or a spatula.
- Warm between fingertips and massage into face, neck, and décolletage as the final step of your evening skincare routine.
Kitchen note
Keep a small kitchen thermometer dedicated to your formulation kit, matching Phase A and Phase B within 5°C of each other before combining is the single biggest predictor of whether this cream sets up smooth or breaks.
