Ingredients:
1/3 cup of beeswax pellets, plus 2 oz for a harder lotion bar (I have a block so I grated mine) (use a digital food scale for accurate measurements)
1/3 cup cocoa butter
1/3 cup of coconut oil
10-15 drops of Eucalyptus oil
Place the first three ingredients in a heatproof vessel. I used a Pyrex measuring cup and lower it in a one inch deep water in a pot (a bain marie). Turn on the heat and bring to a simmer. Stir and keep stirring until all ingredients are completely melted. Once melted, add eucalyptus oil and pour into your mold or ice cube tray.
Let it cool completely. And carefully release from mold.
Done!
This recipe made two bars. As pictured above. You can substitute cocoa butter with mango butter or shea butter. And certainly feel free to try different essential oils.
There you go...a Valentines day treat or nice for a rub on muscles after a hard workout!!
