Ingredients

Scale

  • 10 drops lavender essential oil
  • 5 drops peppermint essential oil

Instructions

  1. Place the olive oil, shea butter, coconut oil and beeswax in a glass bowl in a pan with warm water (or you can use a double-boiler).
  2. Heat the ingredients, while stirring, until they melt. Continue to stir until well blended.
  3. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Add the essential oil.
  4. Stir again until well blended.
  5. Check the consistency. For a thinner, creamier consistency, use a hand mixer (or electric mixer) for one or two minutes.

  7. Apply, as needed, to the hands, face and body, avoiding the eyes.
