  • 3 Tbs. beeswax
  • 3 Tbs. cocoa butter
  • 1 Vitamin E capsule
  • 15 drops lavender essential oil

Directions

Combine the olive oil, beeswax and cocoa butter in a double boiler. Heat till melted, then remove from heat. Prick a hole in the Vitamin E capsule and add this and the lavender essential oil to the beeswax mixture, beating well. Pour into small jars or tins and cool before replacing the cover.
