- 75 drops Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil
- 75 drops Lavender Essential Oil
- 25 drops Grapefruit Essential Oil
- 25 drops Geranium Essential Oil
- 3/4 oz Beeswax
- 1 cup Water
- 16 oz Resealable Container
- 1/4 tsp Sodium Borate (Borax)
Directions
- In a small pot over high heat, bring 3-4 cups of water to a simmer.
- In a measuring cup, combine sweet almond oil and beeswax. Then, place the cup in simmering water and heat until beeswax melts. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate container, dissolve sodium borate in remaining 1 cup water and heat mixture until it reaches the same temperature as the sweet almond oil and beeswax liquid.
- Pour sodium water into blender, along with sweet almond oil and beeswax. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender with a spatula if needed.
- To use, apply to clean skin. Test on a small area before general use, and do not use on broken skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
