🔥 How to Prepare
- Sanitize tools and a 30 g tin; allow to dry fully.
- In a heat-safe beaker, gently melt beeswax, shea, jojoba, and squalane over a bain-marie until clear.
- Remove from heat. When the blend cools to ~45 °C (warm, not hot), stir in vitamin E, frankincense, cedarwood, and any optional 1–3 drops.
- Stir until perfectly uniform. Pour into the tin and let set at room temperature (avoid fridge to prevent sweating/graininess).
🌸 How to Use
- Warm a small amount between fingertips and apply to pulse points (wrists, temples, behind ears).
- Inhale slowly for 3–5 breaths to begin your practice; reapply as desired.
- Great before journaling, yoga, breathwork, or wind-down routines.
🧭 How You Can Use This Recipe
- For Personal Use: Keep a tin in your bag or bedside for on-demand calm.
- For R&D / Formulation: Adjust firmness by ±0.5–1 g beeswax; test shea vs. mango butter; iterate EO ratios for brighter (more frankincense) or deeper (more cedar/vetiver) profiles.
- For Small Business: Position as “Meditation Balm — Frankincense + Cedarwood.” Offer 10–30 g tins with minimal, mindful branding.
- For Gifting: Pair with a simple 3-step breath card and a cotton pouch.
🪶 Storage & Shelf Life
Keep tightly closed, away from heat/sunlight. Best within 8–10 months. If it softens in hot weather, let it re-set at room temperature.
💡 Pro Tips
- Summer-safe: raise beeswax by 0.5–1 g for a firmer tin.
- Silkier glide: swap 1–2 g jojoba for additional squalane.
- Soft-focus sheen: add 0.2–0.5% cosmetic mica (optional).
- Ultra-gentle noses: reduce total EO to 0.5–0.7%.
🌿 Why This Works
Frankincense’s resinous depth helps cue slower breathing and focus; Cedarwood grounds the blend with a warm, serene base. Anhydrous lipids deliver a slow, close-to-skin release—perfect for quiet rituals without projecting into the room.
