Winter Wonder Bar
1 lb. beeswax,
14 oz. fluid ounces coconut oil (melts at 76 degrees)
4 oz. (weight) shea butter
4-6 oz. fluid ounces sweet almond oil/grapeseed oil combo
2 to 3 drops per ounce of lavender added immediately after the melted
mixture hits the mold (stir in)
one capsule of vitamin E per bar added with eo.
Melt in a double boiler. Do not pour into the molds until beeswax
has been melted for at least 5 full minutes. Continue to stir until
you pour into molds. I used egg molds, tupperware molds, yogurt cups.
..whatever. This bar is extremely hard but melts well with friction
created by rubbing your hands quickly. Once this bar warms a bit it
can be applied freely to rough spots on feet, elbow as well as to
sore hands. Don't put this into the freezer to harden it up as it
will cause cracking and diminish eo scent potency. Ask me how I
know!!!
I made it this way because I wanted a good protective coating on my
skin and the high amount of beeswax seems to provide this.
