Combine the coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler, then you can make your own with a glass bowl on top of a pot of water.Stir with a metal (not wooden) spoon until thoroughly melted.Remove the top of the double boiler from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes, but don’t let it get thick.Add the essential oils and stir gently to thoroughly combine. Pour the mixture into your mold of choice and let it cool until solid. This recipe yields about 3-6 bars, depending on the size of your containers.To use, rub liberally on any exposed skin. These bars will melt if they get too hot, so don’t stash one in your car’s glove box. If it does soften though, just put it in the fridge until firm again.
