Natural Wax Melts Recipe

Equipment

  • Small to medium pot
  • Mixing bowl - preferably non-metallic
  • Silicone Mold or similar mold that can withstand hot items - an ice cube tray or chocolate mold works equally well.
  • Glass or metal measuring cup

Ingredients

  • ΒΌ cup beeswax pastilles
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • up to 100 drops your favorite essential oils

Instructions

  • Pour about two inches of water into your pot.
  • Bring the water only to a simmer heat.
  • Pour an inch or two of water into your saucepan, and bring it to a simmer on your stovetop.
  • Place the beeswax and coconut oil into the measuring cup.
  • Set the now filled measuring cup over the simmering pot.
  • Allow the coconut oil and beeswax to melt thoroughly. You should not have to stir to avoid scorching but doing so will not harm the project. I rarely resist the urge to stir just to make sure the wax and oil do not scorch.
  • Remove the measuring cup from the heat.
  • Drop in your chosen essential oil and stir so they combine completely.
  • Carefully pour the mixture into your molds.Place the molds somewhere absolutely level and allow them to thoroughly dry at room temperature before storing in an airtight container or using:
