Notes
- You can use any type of carrier oil instead of the sweet almond oil. You can use avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil, etc.
- If you want this to be a vegan recipe, use candelilla wax instead of beeswax.
- I live in a hot climate, so this is made with extra beeswax to stop it from melting during hot summers, thus making this a harder rub. Use less beeswax if you want a softer balm.
