Homemade Mentholatum

2 tbsp Cox Honeyland beeswax (grated or pellets)

¼ cup coconut oil

10 drops eucalyptus essential oil

10 drops peppermint essential oil

½ tsp menthol crystals (optional for extra strength)

Melt 2 tablespoons of beeswax and ¼ cup of coconut oil in a double boiler until fully liquefied. Remove from heat and stir in 10 drops of eucalyptus essential oil and 10 drops of peppermint essential oil (for extra strength, add ½ teaspoon of menthol crystals). Pour the mixture into small containers and let it cool until solid. Use it as a chest rub for congestion or a soothing balm for sore muscles. Store in a cool, dry place.
