Combine beeswax or vegan wax with jojoba or sweet almond oil as the solid perfume carrier.
Gently heat wax and oil in double boiler until homogeneous, then remove from heat.
Stir in pre-blended essential oil accord at 10–20% of total formula off heat.
Pour into tins or lip balm tubes, cap loosely until fully cooled, then label.
More wax = firmer balm; more oil = softer, stronger scent release on skin.
Never leave melting wax unattended on stove.
Use oven mitts and pour over protected surface.
Adding EOs to overheated base destroys top notes.
