Instructions
Ready a double boiler over medium heat. I use a glass measuring cup in a small saucepan with about 2 in. of water. Add the beeswax, cocoa butter, shea butter, coconut oil, and calendula oil to your double boiler over medium heat.
1 tablespoon beeswax,
1 tablespoon cocoa butter,
1/2 cup shea butter,
2 tablespoons coconut oil,
4 tablespoons calendula
Stir until all ingredients are melted and combined.
Remove from heat and add essential oils. I use 5 drops each of rosemary, peppermint, eucalyptus, and 2 drops of tea tree essential oils.
10-15 drops Essential oil of choice
Pour into a few wide mouth containers and let it cool. Keep sealed to help it last longer. Typically lasts 4 months.
