Vaseline Type Jelly
Share
Use: Makes a great vaseline type jelly
1 ounce (weight) beeswax
1/2 cup baby oil
Melt the beeswax in a double boiler. Stir in the baby oil.
Remove the mixture from the heat and stir until cool.
IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP: Beeswax melts at 143-148 degrees. It is pliable at 100 degrees. All waxes will ignite explosively when they reach their flash point temperature. To melt beeswax safely, place it in the top of a double boiler, or place the container of wax in a larger container of hot water. Do not melt beeswax in a microwave, as it could become hot enough to ignite. Do not cover the beeswax while melting in a container of water, as steam may condense on the inside of the cover resulting in water in the wax. To measure a small amount of beeswax, grate it before melting.
