I still have some from my previouse batch. So i make small batch only this time. If you like to make more, just multiply the ingredient.
You may use other oil to replace coconut oil like olive oil, sweet almond oil etc.
I like the coconut oil as it has the sweet smell of the coconut. The smell is just nice. I do not need to add any essention oil.

Step 2: Preparation
1. Heat some water in the soucepan over medium-low burner.
2. Combine the coconut oil and beeswax in the jar or tin can. Put the jar or can into the soucepan (double boiling) until the beeswax has melted.
3. Remove from heat and add in the honey.
4. Continue stirring for about 2 minutes. If you make more, you may need to stir longer. Allow the mixture to sit for about 2 minutes to thicken and continue stir again for another 2 minutes. This will help the honey to mix well in the mixture.
5. You will get very soft, gentle ointment balm. If you want a bit firmer, you may want to add some extra beeswax.
6. Once you satisfied with the balm consistency, pour the balm into the jar. Keep out of direct sunlight.
