Simply Natural Solid Perfume

This natural solid perfume is easy to make,
contains no alcohol, and uses all natural essential oils!
Ingredients Needed:
- Beeswax: This can be
found at local health stores, craft stores, or candle-making
supply stores. It is available either in its natural golden
color, don't buy the bleached white color. It can be purchased
either in blocks that can be grated with a cheese grater to get
smaller pieces that are easier to work with, or it can also be
purchased as small pellets. For this recipe you will need one
tablespoon.
-
Jojoba oil or FCO:
You will need three tablespoons for this recipe.
-
Essential oils: These not only give your perfume its
own unique scent and flavor, they also add the benefits of the
essential oil you use to your creation. You will need
about 90-120 drops of essential oil for this recipe.
Instructions:
- Pack grated beeswax or beeswax pellets into a Tablespoon
size measuring spoon until it is packed level with the top, then
dump the beeswax into a heat-proof measuring cup (such as a
Pyrex™ brand measuring cup).
- Add 3 Tablespoons of jojoba oil to the beeswax.
- Place the measuring cup in a large frying pan that is filled
with 1" of hot water.
- Place the frying pan and measuring cup on the stove and turn
the burner on low.
- Stir the mixture in the measuring cup with a popsicle stick
or bamboo skewer every couple of minutes until the wax is
completely melted (about 15-20 minutes).
- Turn off stove and carefully remove the measuring cup from
the frying pan and place the measuring cup on a towel on a
counter-top or table.
-
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then stir in 90-120 drops
of your desired
essential oil or
blend. Note: You may find it easier to pre-measure the
essential oil in another container and add it all at once.
-
Quickly pour the mixture into 1/4 oz lip gloss containers, or
any other small jar or container. This recipe will fill three
or four containers.
-
Allow mixture to cool for several hours. To use, take a small
amount of the solid perfume from the container with your
finger, and place on the wrists, the neck, or any
other location on the skin that is desired.
Extra
Ideas:
-
Create fun labels for your perfume using 1" x 4" labels. Set
up your labels so that one label fits on top of the other
label on each 1" x 4" label, then cut the label in half after
printing so you have two labels that each measure 1/2" x 4".
This size fits perfectly on the bottom half of 1/4 oz
lip gloss containers. You may also want to create a 1"
circular label for the top of the container.
-
For a really awesome gift for someone who likes perfume, give
them the materials to make their very own perfume-blending
kit! To do this, package several essential oils that blend
well together in
5/8 dram vials (some oils that might be good to include in
a basic blending kit include: cedarwood, cinnamon, clove,
clary sage, fir, fennel, frankincense geranium, grapefruit,
lavender, lemon, orange, pine, patchouli, peppermint, rose (or
rosewood/bois de rose), sandalwood, spearmint, spruce,
vetiver, vanilla bourbon (or ylang
ylang). Include a few empty
glass containers to create their blends in. Include grated
beeswax and
jojoba oil,
as well as this recipe to make a solid perfume.
