Ingredients
- 2 tsp beeswax
- 2 tsp carrier oil – sweet almond oil or jojoba oil
- 48 drops essential oils
- Old lip balm tin (the size I used was 1/2 ounce)
Preparation
Step 1
Step 1: Blend the Essential Oils
It’s definitely a good idea to blend the essential oils first before you start working with the beeswax because it hardens really, really fast. I put all of my essential oils into one cup so that I could just pour them into the beeswax mixture when the time came. The recipe from Mrs. Child’s book calls for equal parts of each essential oil, so for this perfume I used:
•12 drops lemon essential oil
•12 drops sweet orange essential oil
•12 drops bergamot essential oil
•12 drops lavender essential oil
You can also play around with the amounts of each oil or try substituting a different essential oil if you don’t have the ones listed above.
