Melt beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil in a double boiler over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the ingredients have melted.
Take the double boiler off the heat and stir in olive oil.
Pour the melted mixture into the airtight container. Let the balm set 2–3 hours before use. Place covered in the refrigerator to quicken the cooling process.
How to Use:
Dampen your face with warm water. Take a chickpea-sized amount of balm out of the container using a spoon, a spatula, or clean, dry fingers.
Apply the balm to your face and gently massage into the skin with your fingertips.
You can use this balm to carefully remove eye makeup, too. Just make sure you don’t get any in your eyes.
Use a warm, damp washcloth to wipe away the cleansing balm and makeup residue. Follow with a mild toner or flower water to remove all traces of the cleansing balm.
Notes
Store in a cool, dry place and keep all water out of the container. This balm can keep for up to 6 months without needing refrigeration.For more copycat recipes from favorite beauty brands like Herbivore, Lush, Burt’s Bees, and more, check out DIY Beauty by Ina De Clercq on Amazon.
