Ingredients

150 grams AB's Natural Raw Beeswax
3 cups Olive Oil
30 drops Anti-oxidant eg. Grapeseed Extract or Vitamin E
10 drops Lavender Essential Oil optional

Instructions

Place both the Natural Raw Beeswax and the olive oil into a double boiler.
Warm over medium heat until the beeswax is melted, stirring occasionally with a metal spoon. Be careful to not let the hot water splash into your bowl.
Add the anti-oxidant and essential oil (if using) and stir well.
Pour the hot mixture into clean and dry wide-mouth containers.
Allow to cool for at least two hours into a semi-hard balm consistency.
To use, just scoop out and use with a cloth on wooden surfaces. You can wipe excess polish off immediately or leave it on for a couple of hours to allow the oils to permeate the wood. Buff it to a sheen afterwards.
