Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut oil
- 1/2 cup Beeswax
- 1/2 cup Shea butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive or jojoba oil
- A few drops of essential oils (like Lavender or Peppermint)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Clean your surfaces and gather everything you need. A double boiler works best for this project.
- Melt the base ingredients: In a double boiler, combine coconut oil, beeswax, and shea butter. Stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Add your oils: Once melted, remove from heat; add olive oil and essential oil. Stir well.
- Pour into containers: Carefully pour the warm mixture into jars or tins, leaving space for expansion as it cools.
- Cool and store: Allow the balm to set. Once solid, cap the jars and store in a cool, dark place.
Notes
Consider adding a teaspoon of vitamin E oil for added skin benefits. Avoid using too much beeswax to ensure easy application.
