Balm Recipe
Soften the Beeswax, either microwave for 30 second intervals or double boil on the hob (saucepan of water, then place bowl with butters and oil into the saucepan of water, heat gently). Add the Shea and/or Cocoa Butter and Base Oil to the Beeswax and melt as above.
Once the butter is soft, not melted, take off the heat.
Add the Vitamin E oil and Base Oil and whisk the butter and oil on a low setting until incorporated then increase the speed to a high.
Once thoroughly mixed and slightly cooled add the essential oils of your choice (if you add the oils to quickly they will evaporate with the heat)
Whisk the mixture again to incorporate the essential oils.
Decant into tubs or jars and allow to set.
(Vitamin E acts as a preservative to the mixture and Beeswax hardens the mixture - less is best until you find your own personal preference.)
