Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon beeswax
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup pure aloe vera gel
  • 10 drops peppermint essential oil

Instructions
 

  • Add the coconut oil, beeswax, and cocoa butter to a double boiler. Melt over medium heat.
  • Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool. It will harden slightly, but shouldn't be firm. This will take a few hours. You can put the bowl in the refrigerator to speed up the process. 
  • Add in the aloe vera gel slowly while mixing with a hand mixer. 
  • Add in essential oil and continue to mix until aloe vera gel is completely mixed into the oils and wax. 
  • Store in an airtight container.
