1 tablespoon beeswax

2 tablespoons Cocoa Butter (Expired)

2 drops Vitamin E-Oil 23,000 IU

2-4 drops Melissa Oil Blend

Directions

Combine all ingredients EXCEPT the Vitamin E-Oil and Melissa Essential Oil Blend into a double boiler (can also use a measuring cup or glass jar in the microwave).
Melt down ingredients completely. Remove from heat.
Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the Vitamin E-Oil and Melissa Essential Oil Blend. Stir gently until combined.
Carefully transfer to jars/tins with a tight-fitting lid. Let cool completely before using.
