I love making my own body products and this heel balm is truly brilliant.  I use it most nights, especially in summer when you want to show off your feet more.  By making your own skin care products, you will save yourself a fortune and as an added bonus you are not putting unnecessary chemicals on your skin.

TIP: You need to work quickly with this recipe as it will set hard very fast so make sure you’ve got all your ingredients out and ready to go.  You will need Essential Oils for this recipe which you can get from our website or via your own doTERRA Customer Account.

Ingredients

  • 50 g coconut oil
  • 20 g beeswax beads
  • 20 g macadamia wax beads (or shea butter)
  • 15 drops doTERRA Lavender Essential Oil & doTERRA Frankincense essential oils
  • 6 little pots

Instructions

Thermal Cooking Method

  1. Place your coconut oil, beeswax and macadamia wax (or shea butter) into your mixing jug and melt for 3-4 mins/60ºC/speed 3 Ensure your mix is fully melted before moving onto the next step, so cook longer if needed.
  2. Add essential oils and mix again 1 min/60ºC/speed 2.
  3. Pour into little pots and allow to set. This does set a little hard so I have found that using a little wooden spoon or scoop helps. It will, however, melt at body temp so once it's on your skin it will rub in easily.

Traditional Cooking Method

  1. In a glass bowl add all ingredients, except essential oils.
  2. Microwave on medium heat (no higher than 50%), 30 seconds at a time. Stir, then repeat until melted and well combined.
  3. Once melted add essential oils and working quickly pour into your containers. If it sets before you have poured it all out, melt further in the microwave (on a low temp).
