Homemade Mentholatum
- 2 tbsp Cox Honeyland beeswax (grated or pellets)

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).
