👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Melt the Beeswax
🕯️ Place the beeswax pellets into a heatproof bowl.
Heat them gently using a double boiler.
Stir occasionally until completely melted.
Do not overheat.
Step 2 – Prepare the Aloe Vera
🌿 Measure the aloe vera gel.
Ensure it is smooth and free from lumps.
Fresh or high-quality preservative-free aloe vera works best.
Step 3 – Combine the Ingredients
Slowly pour the melted beeswax into the aloe vera while whisking continuously.
Mix for several minutes until the texture becomes creamy and smooth.
Step 4 – Cool the Mixture
Allow the mixture to cool naturally.
As it cools, it will thicken into a soft moisturizing balm.
