Ingredients
1⁄2 cup Carrier oil of your choice (can infuse with herbs first if desired)
1⁄4 cup Coconut oil
1⁄4 cup shaved Beeswax or beeswax pastilles
2 TBSP Shea, Cocoa, or Mango Butter
1 tsp Red Raspberry seed oil
1 tsp Carrot seed oil
2 TBSP Zinc Oxide = 10%
Essential oils of your choice for scent (DO NOT USE ANY CITRUS OILS)
Instructions
1) Combine all the ingredients other than zinc oxide in a pint-sized or larger glass jar.
2) Fill a saucepan or double boiler with a couple of inches of water and place it on the stove.
3) Put a lid loosely on the jar and place it in the pan.
4) Shake or stir the jar occasionally to mix ingredients as they melt.
5) When the ingredients are completely incorporated and melted, stir in the zinc oxide. Make sure you do not inhale the zinc oxide. You can use mask or t-shirt to cover your nose if needed.
6) Then, pour into whatever you will use for storage. The product can be stored in a new tin, deodorant push-up, lotion squeeze tube, glass/plastic jar, or container of your preference.
7) Stir a few times as it cools to make sure zinc oxide is incorporated.
8) Store at room temperature in a cool dark location or in the refrigerator to increase shelf life.
