Solid Perfume Recipes with Essential Oils
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp Organic Sweet Almond Oil or other liquid carrier oil of choice (learn ALL about carrier oils in this detailed post)
- 1 Tbsp + 2 tsps Beeswax Pastilles (naturally processed, sustainably sourced beeswax)
- 2 oz tin or about 5 of these handy lip slide tins
**PATCHOULI BLEND - 30 drops Patchouli Essential Oil and 20 drops Orange Essential Oil
**LAVENDER BLEND- 40 drops Lavender Essential Oil and 10 drops Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
Instructions
- Combine the carrier oil and beeswax in your tin and place this in your oven on a baking sheet.
- Turn the oven on to the lowest temperature, about 200 degrees, and let the beeswax melt. This shouldn't take more than 5 minutes, so you want to keep a close eye on it. You don't want the oil to get too hot, just warm enough that everything melts together.
- As soon as the beeswax has melted, carefully remove the tray from the oven. Add the essential oils and carefully stir with a toothpick to combine. This hardens in seconds, so work fast!
- Immediately cap your tin to prevent the volatile oils from evaporating into the air.
- Use on your hair, or the pulse points, on your wrists for a pleasant perfume.
