In a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mango butter, beeswax, wheatgerm oil, and sunflower oil together. Stir occasionally until fully melted and well combined.
Allow the melted mixture to cool slightly before adding the essential oils to preserve their therapeutic properties. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
Carefully pour the liquid balm into your chosen container or tin. Work quickly before the mixture solidifies.
Let the cuticle balm sit undisturbed until it solidifies and reaches room temperature.
To use the cuticle balm, simply take a small amount with your fingertip and gently massage it into your cuticles and nails. Use daily for best results.
Adjust the essential oil drops to your preference, and feel free to experiment with other oils that suit your skin and scent preferences.
