All you need for this balm is beeswax, coconut oil, little containers and some essential oils that you like (I picked lemongrass, yum!)
The first thing you do is grate the beeswax. You need equal parts wax to coconut oil, so grate however much you need depending on how much balm you are making.
The next step is to add the coconut oil to the beeswax, remember equal parts of both! Make sure to use a bowl that you don't care too much about because the wax can turn into a crazy mess.
Put the bowl in the microwave until it is all melted into a liquid.
Add the essential oil (just a few drops) into your liquid and quickly pour into your little containers. It would be really cool if you had some vintage pill boxes to put your balm in, but I didn't so I used these little watch containers from Lee Valley.
Let the balm dry and you are done!
I used little dollies to wrap the containers that I just had laying around my place, vintage napkins or fabrics would be really cute as well. Remember packaging is the best part! Well in my opinion!
