50 ml Oil (Sweet Almond Oil)
4gm beeswax (if using pellets, use 8 pellets)
Essential oil (3-4 drops)
Method:
Melt oil and beeswax together slowly in a pot over boiling water. Allow to cool down.
In small 7 ml containers put some oil/beeswax mix inside.
When you know which essential oil you would like to use, put 3-4 drops into the oil/beeswax in the small container and mix gently with a wooden stick (this avoids all the containers having the same essential oil and you can make some different ones from one batch)
Note:
- All utensils and hands must be clean and dry before use
- Wash hands after using oils.
- Some people are allergic to oils. To test put one drop in the elbow crease, wait five minutes and if the skin is reacting or red, do not use.
- Can use cooking oils like canola instead of the sweet almond oil, but avoid those with a strong odour.
- Don’t mix more than three essential oils together at once.
- The amount of beeswax or oil determines how firm the finished product will be.
