What’s Great About This Recipe?
This recipe uses only 3 ingredients – Coconut Oil, Beeswax and Olive Oil – to create a velvety smooth body jelly. Coconut oil has anti-bacterial properties and is great for keeping skin hydrated. Olive oil is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K and helps to lock in moisture. Beeswax is a humectant and provides the skin with a protective layer.
