| Instructions |
| 1. Place the wax and butters in a heat
proof jug and melt them together. The easiest way is
to microwave them for 1 minute then wrap the jug in
two tea towels and let it sit to melt. You could also
place the jug in a double boiler but ensure that no
water gets into the jug. |
| |
| 2. Once melted, add the oil and heat gently
to remelt all of the waxes/butters. Remove from heat
and add 20 drops of essential oil. Stir to incorporate. |
| |
| 3. Half fill the container and wait until
it sets (goes opaque) but is still warm. Completely
fill the container and leave to cool completely before
putting the cap on. If you do it this way you won't
get a depression in the middle of the container. |

| 4. Label and enjoy! |
