Ingredients
1 cup pure aloe vera gel, distilled water, or strong-brewed herbal tea (we used aloe vera gel
½ cup grated beeswax
½ cup sweet almond, grapeseed, or jojoba oil
1 tsp Vitamin E oil
15 drops essential oil
½ cup grated beeswax
½ cup sweet almond, grapeseed, or jojoba oil
1 tsp Vitamin E oil
15 drops essential oil
Directions
In a medium-sized bowl combine aloe vera gel, Vitamin E oil, and essential oils. Set aside until it all comes to room temperature. It might help to place it in warm water bath.
Add grated beeswax and oil to a glass measuring cup. Place measuring cup in a small pot of water and bring water to a gentle boil. Heat, stirring occasionally, until beeswax is completely melted then carefully remove measuring cup from pot.
Pour beeswax/oil mixture into blender and allow to cool.
Once cooled, turn blender on LOW. Remove top of blender and pour aloe vera mixture in a SLOW, continuous stream.
Stop blender to run a spatula around sides to incorporate ingredients. If liquid is pooling at the top, stop frequently to push it around with spatula. (This step may take as long as 10-15 minutes, and patience is key!) Continue blending until desired consistency is reached.
Transfer moisturizer to clean jars and refrigerate any portion that will not be used up within a few weeks. We like glass containers and like ball jars.
