How do I Make Creams With Essential Oils: Coconut Oil & Olive Oil?
- 1). Combine 3/4 cup coconut oil, 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/2 ounce, or 1 tablespoon, beeswax in the top of the double boiler. Add water to the bottom of the double boiler and place over medium heat. Heat until the wax is melted.
- 2). Stir the oil and wax to combine completely. Set aside to cool slightly.
- 3). Combine 1 cup distilled water, five 1,000-unit capsules Vitamin E or 1/4 teaspoon Vitamin E oil, and about 40 drops of the essential oils of your choice in the glass bowl.
- 4). Slowly drizzle the slightly cooled oil mixture over the water mixture while beating with a stick blender. Beat until the mixture is completely combined. If the oil mixture was still hot, the cream will be very thin at this point, but it will thicken as it cools.
- 5). Pour into dry, sterilized jars and screw on the lids.
- 6). Label jars with date and contents. Store in the refrigerator.
