A little reward for your skin

Absolute Heaven Balm

INGREDIENTS:
5 tablespoons soybean base oil
1 tablespoon beeswax
1 tablespoon cocoa butter
1 tablespoon shea butter
20 drops sweet orange essential oil
20 drops tangerine essential oil
15 drops geranium essential oil
15 drops lavender essential oil
10 drops neroli essential oil
5 drops vanilla essential oil(NOT vanilla extract) (optional)
4 drops rose otto essential oil (optional)

In a small saucepan over low heat combine all ingredients except the essential oils and gently warm until all solids are just melted. Remove from heat. Stir a few times to blend the mixture thoroughly, and then allow to cool for five minutes. Add the essential oils and stir again.

Pour into storage container. Lightly cover with a paper towel and allow the blend to cool for 15 minutes, then cap. Allow the balm to harden overnight at room temperature. Because both cocoa butter and shea butter are included, the balm may continue to slightly change texture slightly for another 24 hours.

No refrigeration is required, but for maximum freshness and potency, please use within six to eight months.

Application tips: Spread a bit of balm under the nose, on the throat, temples, check, back, or even the soles of your feet. Inhale deeply and feel blissfully Zen-like.

HELPFUL HINTS:  Please be sure to use pure essential oils. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have a serious medical condition, please be sure to consult a health care professional before using this or any essential oil.
