- 2 Tbsp. beeswax pellets
- 2 Tbsp. unrefined shea butter
- 2 Tbsp. coconut oil
- (optional) 5 drops essential oil (i.e. spearmint, peppermint, etc.)

- Set a mason jar in a pot of water on the stove, and heat the water over medium heat.
- Put the beeswax pellets in the mason jar and melt.
- Add the shea butter and the coconut oil, stirring until melted as well.
- Quickly transfer the mixture to a glass measuring cup.

- Let cool, then wipe down the sides of the tubes to clean up any drips.
- Enjoy!
