Melt beeswax in a pitcher over medium heat. Now grab a cooking vat, place it on low heat, and add petroleum jelly to it. Also, add your favorite essential oils like avocado oil, cedarwood oil, etc. Once the jelly and oils reach the same consistency, add in the wax. Stir well. Pour it into a tin container and let it sit overnight.

Take some beeswax and melt it on medium flame. Separately, take one tablespoon each of powdered gum Arabic and shea butter and two tablespoons of water in a cooking vat. Heat them over a low flame until they reach the same consistency. Once they do, add the wax to it and two drops of juniper oil. Transfer into a tin and leave it overnight.
