A soothing DIY body jelly recipe that uses no petroleum or added chemicals for moisturized, baby soft skin. Use as is and enjoy the natural beeswax scent or add essential oils for therapeutic and aromatherapy properties.

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.
