6 drops lavender essential oil

6 drops melaleuca essential oil (tea tree)

 METHOD

1. Add coconut oils, Shea butter and beeswax to clean Thermomix bowl and melt – 5 min/80 deg/speed 2. Extend by 30 seconds at a time if all of your beeswax hasn’t quite melted yet.
2. Add remaining ingredients and mix – 15 seconds/speed 3.

NOTES

• Act quick when pouring lotions containing beeswax as it solidifies quickly.
• When adding beeswax into bowl, be mindful to avoid leaving pellets on the blades or they may not melt.
• This salve replaces Vaseline type products, where ingredients are derived from dangerous petrochemicals. I have also replaced my Lucas’ Paw Paw Ointment.
• Feel free to play around with the essential oils.
