Hi Beryl,
It does sound yummy.  Call me a minimalist but I like recipes with few ingredients ;)  so will give it a go!
In terms of consistency/texture, how close is it to vaseline?
Some of the beeswax balms I've made previously have, after a few weeks, seemed to really dry out which I think must mean I've used too much beeswax and not enough oil.

Amanda good to know you like making ‘other’ things  - I make a variety of things  - not just ‘soap’....try this recipe never buy petroleum jelly – you can make better than that and it’s ‘safe’.   If you want it ‘softer’ add more oils or less beeswax (practice makes purrfect lol)

 

UnPetroleum Jelly  ‘vaseline’ for Baby (and other things)

 

21g beeswax

100g Rice Bran Oil infused with Calendula Petals.

 

It looks and smells yummy.

 

Ps...I’ve been making lotions for years – I don’t sell anything – do it just for my pleasure and my family.
