The addition of emulsifying wax ensures that any excess easily washes away in the shower.

Instructions
- In a clean double boiler, add beeswax, emulsifying wax, and avocado oil. While that melts, in another pot, gently heat hydrosol and glycerine until just warm. Do not overheat.
- When oils are melted, remove both from stove.
- Slowly pour the warm liquid into the oil mixture, and blend with a stick blender until mixture is smooth and creamy. A whisk may be used if stirred vigorously every 2-5 minutes until the mixture is completely cooled and thoroughly emulsified. If mixture is cool and not completely emulsified, you may re-melt the mixture on low, indirect heat and try again.
- Add essential oils and Tinosan.
- Use immediately, or scrape into jar with a spatula, cap and label. Use within 6 months.
