  • Or 25 drops essential oils of your preference

  1. Add some water to a saucepan over medium heat. In a glass or stainless steal bowl, add the wax and stir until completely melted. Add the coconut oil and shea butter and combine well. Remove from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the arrowroot, baking soda, and mix well. When the mixture is warm to touch, add the essential oils.
  3. Transfer to a container and store in a cool and dry place.
