DIY Essential Oil Bear-Balm Using OK For Kids Sniffles & Sneezes
by Charity Dykstra September 06, 2016
Chicken soup, mountains of dirty tissues, endless television and a thermometer that's through the roof- all classic signs that cold season is upon us. While chicken soup may be good for the soul, feeling under the weather can be unBEARable! Our OK For Kids Sniffles & Sneezes is the respiratory system’s best friend with oils of Silver Fir, Cedarwood, Pine, Spruce, Sweet Orange, and Lavender to help bring relief.
DIY BEAR BALM
Snuff out those grizzly-size sniffles with our DIY Bear Balm recipe. Rub a small amount on your child’s chest for congestion relief and less tissue waste. Plus, this recipe doubles as a great healthy, homemade product for adults too!
What you need
(2) 4 oz Metal tins
1/4 cup of Coconut Carrier oil
1/4 cup of Grapeseed Carrier oil
4 tablespoons of Soy Wax
35 drops of OK For Kids Sniffles & Sneezes
Double boiler
Directions
Melt the soy wax in a double boiler on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in Coconut oil, Grapeseed oil and Sniffles & Sneezes. Pour the mixture into the metal tins and let cool. This recipe should yield approximately two, four ounce tins. For a softer balm, add more carrier oil, and for a firmer balm add more soy wax.
