Hi Bonnie from Scotland 🙂
The easiest thing you can do is just grate your beeswax and use teaspoon to measure it as per the recipe!

I have the same sensitivities as yourself to frankincense and other strong scents. I would replace them all and just have the citrus and olive oils

Can other essential oils be substituted for frankincense and cedarwood. I have sensitivities to these (particularly frankincense both may be able to manage with cedarwood – maybe), so coughing, scratchy throat, sneezing and watery eyes just aren’t a pleasant proposition. I’m wondering if citrus (lemon & orange essentials) would work nicely with the eucalyptus (both scent and effectiveness), or if they would counteract the effects of the eucalyptus. Another thought was sweet almond & vanilla. Two very different combinations, aren’t they? Just don’t know how they would work with the eucalyptus. But I’ve looked at a couple of recipes and I like this one – though I do prefer measuring by grams or ounces; it feels a bit more precise for a novice. Thanks so much for the recipe and all of your helpful information on the properties/effects of the oils. Very cool! Thanks!

Thank you Mary, here is the recipe below and also a link you can print https://organic-beauty-recipes.com/easyrecipe-print/5411-0/

Once melted, remove from heat and add the essential oils.

Thanks Jannalee 🙂

1 tablespoon of oil (canola or soy) weighs 13.62 grams so 15 tablespoons = 204 grams.

nope, that would work just fine!
