Author: Kristen Wood
Cost: $7

Equipment

  • Silicone molds

Materials

  • cup coconut oil refined or unrefined
  • ½ teaspoon hibiscus powder
  • ¾ cup white beeswax pellets or grated
  • 10 drops violet essential oil
  • 5 drops hibiscus essential oil
  • dried hibiscus and/or violet flowers optional

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, add the oil and hibiscus powder.
  • Gently warm, while stirring, until the oil is a lovely dark pink hue and the powder has dissolved.
  • Turn off the heat, then set aside.
  • In a double boiler over medium heat, add the beeswax and stir until fully melted.
  • Add the hibiscus oil to the melted beeswax, then stir until well incorporated.
  • Turn off the heat and then gently mix in the essential oils.
  • If using dried flowers for the visual effect, add them to the molds before pouring. Carefully pour the wax melt mixture into silicone molds. I like to use chocolate molds, as they are the perfect size for most wax melt burners.
  • Allow the wax melts to cool and set, at least 2 hours before removing them from the molds.
  • Store in a cool location for up to one year.
  • Enjoy!
