1. Place the stearic acid, glycerin, and grated paraffin wax into a crockpot. Set the crockpot to low heat. Allow the mixture to melt completely, stirring occasionally.
2. Carefully add the ammonia. Stir briskly with a wooden spoon. The mixture will start to appear slightly milky.
3. In a separate container, dissolve the borax in the warm water.
4. Once fully dissolved, gradually add this solution to the crockpot mixture. Stir continuously.
5. Remove the crockpot from the heat source.
6. Using an electric mixer set to low speed, begin beating the mixture. Continue until the texture resembles whipped cream.
7. Allow the mixture to cool down to room temperature. As it cools, it will thicken and set further.
8. Once cooled, you can add a few drops of your favorite perfume and a colorant if you like.
9. Stir these into the cream thoroughly.
10. Transfer the hand cream into clean, dry containers. Preferably use glass jars or plastic containers with tight-sealing lids.
11. Store in a cool, dry place.
12. Note: Avoid using any metal utensils or containers during preparation as metal can react with the ingredients, especially ammonia.
