Homemade Wax Melts
These homemade wax melts are simple to make and free of the toxins found in store-bought melts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup soy wax or beeswax
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 30-100 drops essential oils
- candle dye for coloring, optional
Instructions
- Create a makeshift double boiler by placing a glass pyrex container or bowl inside a pot filled with about 2 inches of water. Be sure the water will not splash into the container.
- Put the soy wax (or beeswax) and the coconut oil in the top of your double boiler. Turn the pot on and bring the water to a simmer.
- Watching carefully, and stirring often, melt the coconut oil and the wax together. When fully melted remove from the heat.
- Add essential oils and candle dye if using. Stir. Immediately pour into molds. Allow to cool at least an hour. When fully cool, pop wax melts out and store in a cool dry place.
