Molded Massage Oil
Ingredients
- 4 Tbs. solid vegetable shortening
- 3 Tbs. solid cocoa butter
- 2 Tbs. solid coconut oil
- 1 Tbs. beeswax
- 1 Tbs. paraffin wax
- 10 drops orange essential oil (or oil of choice)
Directions
Heat all the above, except essential oil, in a microwave (medium power) for approximately 3 minutes or melt in a double boiler. Stir until liquid. If you want them colored, add a crayon or wax dye. Beat for several minutes until emulsified and slightly thick. If it isn't thickening, place your bowl in ice water as you beat it with an electric mixer. Add essential oil. Pour into metal or lightly oiled plastic/glass molds. (Candy molds work well and are about the right amount for a body massage.) Refrigerate until set. Wrap in plastic and store in a cool place.Â
