List of Ingredients



• 1/2 cup distilled water
  
• 1 tsp borax powder
  
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
  
• 1 Tbsp liquid lanolin

Instructions



1. In a pan, boil the water and add the borax, stirring until it is dissolved. In a second pan over low heat, melt the coconut oil, lanolin, beeswax and almond oil until thoroughly blended. Remove from heat.
   
   
2. Slowly pour the water-and-borax mixture into the oils, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Stir until the mixture thickens and has cooled to the touch.
