Step 1: Melt the Beeswax
In a double boiler or a small pot over very low heat, add the beeswax. Stir gently as it melts.
Step 2: Add the Oil
Once the beeswax is fully melted, pour in the oil. Stir well to combine the mixture.
Step 3: Optional Add-ins
If using essential oils or vitamin E, add them now. Stir again.
Step 4: Pour and Let It Set
Carefully pour the warm liquid into your clean jar or tin. Let it cool at room temperature until it solidifies—usually within 1–2 hours.
Step 5: Use and Store
Your homemade Vaseline is ready to use! Keep it in a cool, dry place. It can last for several months.
