Description

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon powdered alkanet root
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unrefined cocoa butter (or 4 cocoa butter wafers)
• 4 teaspoons grated beeswax
• 1/4 teaspoon essential oil of your choice
• 1/4 teaspoon vitamin E oil
• 5 half ounce tins or jars

Directions

• Stir the alkanet root and olive oil into a 1 cup canning jar and place the jar in a pot with an inch or so of water (creating a double boiler). Gently heat for 30 minutes.
• Strain the oil through a coffee filter to remove the alkanet.
• Place the strained olive oil, the cocoa butter and the beeswax into the canning jar and back into the pot of water. Heat slowly until the beeswax and cocoa butter have melted, stirring.
• Remove from the heat and add the essential oil and the vitamin E. Stir thoroughly.
• Pour into 1/2 ounce tins or jars. Allow to cool thoroughly before using.
