Servings: 1 jar
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, cocoa butter and olive oil 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.
