Hi, I was just wondering why you use beeswax, borax, stearic acid,vegetable emulsifying wax, and xanthum gum, would just using borax and beeswax be enough to bind the oil and water?

So sorry for the late reply. I like to use a combination of all because it gives my creams a nicer consistency.

Using just beeswax and borax is a personal choice but yes, it would be enough.
