Lay back, relax, and take deep, cleansing breaths—after applying this peaceful, breath-opening chest salve!
Mastic combines with two resinous essential oils in a beeswax-based salve for a calming experience during cold or allergy season.
Melt beeswax in a double boiler. (A Pyrex/glass measuring cup placed in a pot of water works great as a double boiler!)
Once the beeswax is almost melted, add the Jojoba oil and gently melt.
Take the melted oils off of the heat and add the essential oils, stirring well.
Immediately pour into aluminum tins or glass jars. This recipe makes 2 - 1 oz salves.
This blend was created at a 3% dilution. We recommend a small patch test to ensure there is no skin sensitivity.
Kid safety: For kids between the ages of 5 and 10, we recommend 5 drops Elemi Oil, 5 drops Opopanax Oil, 4 drops Mastic Oil.
The ingredient with the shortest remaining shelf life becomes the shelf life of the entire blend.
