How to make it
Hot wax burns, so pour seated with the jug on a tray, and check for nut allergies, since shea comes from a tree nut.
1Measure everything
Put the beeswax, shea butter and coconut oil in the glass jug.
2Melt it slowly
Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring between, until clear and runny. It takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
3Pour into molds
Wearing oven mitts, pour the mix into the molds. Fill each about three-quarters full.
4Let them set
Leave them on the counter for 1 hour, or 20 minutes in the fridge.
5Pop them out
Press the bottom of each silicone mold to push the bar out.
6Wrap them up
Tuck each bar into a tin or a square of wax paper tied with string.
Edie's tipUse the bar as a gentle hand massage with a friend. Rub it between your palms, then slowly over the back of each hand. It's a kind, calm activity in care settings.
