Description

Ingredients

• ¼ to ½ oz beeswax beads
• ¼ cup coconut oil or carrier oil of your choice
• 15 - 20 drops pure essential oils (I used peppermint and lemon)

Directions

• Put a couple spoons in the freezer before starting.
• Add your coconut oil to a glass measuring cup or a container with a spout and preferably made of glass.
• Add your beeswax beads starting with a ¼ oz. (You will add more if you want the consistency to be harder).
• Microwave in 30 second intervals and mix in-between until the beeswax is melted. The time will vary depending on your microwave, the amount you are making and the carrier oil you use. Mine took 90 seconds then I added more beeswax for another 30 seconds.
• Mix well until all the beeswax is melted.
• Pull out a spoon from the freezer and dip into the mixture. Test the consistency and if its to your liking its ready. If not, add a bit more beeswax and continue to microwave until you reach the desired consistency.
• Add your essentials oils and mix well.
• Pour into containers
• and let cool and harden.
• Enjoy!
