The Ritual Master Ingredients :
2 teaspoons bees wax
1 teaspoon cocoa butter
2 tablespoons coconut oil
10-15 drops of essential oil of choice (optional)
Mix all of the ingredients (except for the essential oil if your are using any) into a mason jar, then put it in a saucepan that has one cup of simmering water. This is your easy homemade double boiler, and it will allow for the beeswax and the cocoa butter to melt into the coconut oil.
I personally find these three ingredients pleasantly fragrant, so I don’t add any essential oil. You could use some lemon EO (check to see if it’s without furocoumarines, they are photo sensitising), lavender and cinnamon work as well. Just remember to add the oil once you take your jar off the heat, just before pouring into your tins.
Let it cool over night at room temperature, and use with warm hands, to melt the solid butter upon touch. Enjoy it as a bedtime ritual and rub it into your nails and cuticles, while listening to a night time meditation 🙂
