Creating your own Vaseline at home is very simple. You just need beeswax and essential oils. You will also need a couple of pots, a wooden spatula and a glass jar in which to preserve the product. Do you have everything? Well then it's time to make Vaseline.
Cut or grate one ounce of beeswax, i.e. approximately 30 grams, into small pieces. This is a natural product that has multiple benefits for the human body. It is widely used in the manufacture of cosmetic products due to its high moisturizing ability, so using Vaseline is a wise choice. Beeswax is ideal for looking after lips, burns or skin problems.
Meanwhile, place 200 cl of oil in a small saucepan. It can be olive or any other essential oil. The most highly recommended is sweet almond oil, as it is ideal for skin care, especially for sensitive skin, as it has a revitalizing and anti-aging effect.
You should boil the essential oil in a bain-marie. Remember that with this technique you heat the product on a low heat. You should dip the small pot with the oil in into another larger pot with a little water. In this way, you make sure the temperature is even.
As the oil warms, slowly add the grated or small pieces of beeswax and stir slowly. The wax should completely dissolve in the oil to form a viscous but homogeneous mixture. At this time, take the solution off the heat and place it in a glass container with a hermetic seal.
Allow the solution to cool and set and there you have your homemade Vaseline ready to go! Remember that you can use it as a lip moisturizer, you can incorporate it into your skin creams, use it to relieve burns or other skin treatments and even as a perfect lubricant. Discover its wonderful benefits and applications with your own Vaseline. Try it!
