Ingredients: 90g Coconut Oil– Organic, unrefined, virgin 65g Carrier Oil– I use organic and unrefined almond oil, jojoba oil or any other liquid carrier oil. 28.5g Beeswax– Preferably organic 27.5g Shea Butter – Organic, unrefined 40g Zinc Oxide – Non-nano, uncoated zinc oxide 1/2t Vitamin E oil Tools: Double-boiler (I make my own with a glass bowl over a simmering pot of shallow H2O) Kitchen Scale Mask (or hold your shirt over your mouth…you do not want to breathe in the zinc oxide, so make sure little ones aren’t around when you make this) Container(s), preferably glass. This recipe fits perfectly in 3 x 120ml glass jars Make It: Place your glass bowl on your scale, hit tare. Add all ingredients (one-by-one, hitting tare in between) EXCEPT the zinc oxide, which you add at the end. Place glass bowl over pot of shallow, slightly simmering H2O. Melt ingredients completely (stir with a whisk to help it along). Carefully remove from stove and wipe down condensation on bowl (you do not want H2O getting into your product). Place bowl on scale, hit tare. Add zinc oxide…slowly…until you get to 40g. Again, add this slooooowly…as the zinc settles the amount will increase on your scale. Whisk, whisk, whisk (and whisk some more!) and then carefully pour into container of your choice. This will take a few minutes to set up…just walk away and leave it alone to quietly set up.
