.375 ounces emulsifying wax

2 ounces of glycerine

Possible Scents

Lavender:

1. 40 drops lavender essential oil

In  a glass measuring cup over a pan of water, melt the coconut oil and emulsifying wax. In a separate container, boil water. Pour the water into a jar and add glycerin. Put the lid on and shake. Slowly pour in the hot oil/wax mixture and shake again. Add essential oil and shake. Allow the mixture to cool for about 5 minutes and shake to mix.
