Ingredients

  • ¼ cup almond oil
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1 tbs beeswax

Instructions

  • Heat a double boiler over medium heat. In the double boiler combine the almond oil, coconut oil and beeswax. Heat until melted and fully combined (whisk every few minutes).
  • Remove from heat and let cool on the counter very briefly- for about three minutes. (you don't want to heat the essential oils and risk damage). Add the essential oils to the mixture and whisk to combine fully.
  • Let sit on the counter for 45-60min until mixture is mostly solidified. You're ready to go!
  • This rub should last roughly 6 months in the cupboard only if no water has gotten into it as water causes mold.
