Whether you're celebrating No Shave November, dropping strong hints for a wildly-bearded friend, or looking for a gift for that hirsute someone, try this recipe. If you don't have a double boiler, use a large Pyrex measuring cup with spout in a pan of water.
Beard Oil Recipe
2 T Beeswax Pellets
2 T Jojoba
1 T Shea Butter
1 T Argan Oil
4-5 drops Vitamin E Oil
20+ drops Essential Oil
Sweet & Woodsy Essential Oil Blend
8 drops Idaho Blue Spruce
6 drops of Valor
4 drops Frankincense
2 drops Rosemary
2 drops of Bergamot
-or-
10 drops Northern Black Spruce
-or-
8 drops Cedarwood
8 Tea tree
8 Rosemary
Add first 3 ingredients to a double boiler. Once it is completely melted, turn off the heat and set the pan aside. Quickly add in the Argan oil, Vitamin E oil and essential oils, then give it one last stir. Immediately pour the mixture into your chosen container. Let the balm set, cool, and solidify for at least two hours, stir well, then cover with a tight-fitting lid.
