0.8 oz beeswax (or candelillia wax for vegan option)
0.6 oz mango butter
0.3 oz almond oil
10 drops vitamin E oil
10 drops cedarwood essential oil
10 drops ho wood essential oil
Measure the beeswax, mango butter, almond oil and jojoba oils with a kitchen scale into a glass measuring cup or bowl or a double boiler.
Melt the wax, butter and oil together on the double boiler (or in a microwave in 30 second increments)
Once completely melted, add the vitamin E and essential oils and stir. Pour into a container of your choice and let harden.
This recipe makes approximately 2 ounces of finished beard balm.
Variations: You could use peppermint or citrus rather than the woodsy smell of cedar and ho wood.
