Watch our collection of self-care workshops on YouTube to boost your mental, emotional, and physical health. The ingredient list is available below:

Beeswax Lotion Bars

Ingredients:
• 1 part beeswax (melted)
• 1 part sweet almond oil
• 1 part coconut oil (melted)

Instructions:
1. Place 2 cups of water in a medium-sized pan fitted with a double boiler. Place beeswax in the double boiler and allow it to fully melt.
2. Add the coconut oil and sweet almond oil, and stir gently (with a spoon dedicated solely to beeswax crafts) until the coconut oil is melted.
3. Using an oven mitt, remove the double boiler from the pan and wipe the water off of the bottom of the boiler.
4. Pour the melted mixture into your molds, and allow to set for a few hours, or overnight.

Notes:

  • By “equal parts” for the ingredients, it would mean you use the same measurements of all the ingredients. Let’s say you want to use 1/3 cup of beeswax, you’d then want to use 1/3 cup of the almond oil and the coconut oil.
  • Vegans can use carnauba wax in lieu of beeswax.
  • If you have a coconut allergy you can sub in shea butter.
