Place a shallow pan on your stove filled ¼ of the way with water on low heat.
Place an empty 6-8oz jar in the water and add your grapeseed oil, evening primrose oil, and beeswax.
Once beeswax pellets have melted, remove jar from heat and allow to cool until only lukewarm (but before the beeswax has begun to solidify – if this happens, remelt for a few minutes).
Add essential oils and mix.
Then, so that the essential oils don’t evaporate from the warmth, place the lid loosely on the jar while the salve continues to cool.
When it’s completely cooled down, it’s ready to use. Apply as needed, using gentle, upward strokes.
