Homemade Sleep Salve with Essential Oils

This homemade skin salve with essential oils is SO easy to make. You just put the jar of coconut oil in a bowl of hot water to to liquify and do the same with the beeswax. It’s only 4 tablespoons beeswax so not too much, just enough to bind the lotion together so it’s not all runny. Add your oils, whip and voila! Your gift is made. Just add to some pretty jars.

You can always change up the oils if you’d like to…sometimes lavender is the key to sleep and lavender and lemon is good together. Even lavender, lemon and peppermint. Just make sure you add about 100 drops of oil total, no matter which combination you use.

Rocky Mountain Oils’ essential oils are verified by a third-party, independent lab. GC/MS tests verify purity and quality of the oils sold so you can look at the bottom of the bottle to find your individual batch code and then input that number into our website to pull up the GC/MS test results.

RMO includes three different icons for recommended use on each bottle for easy reference: Diffuse, Topical Application and Household. So you can look at the bottle and know in what way it’s intended for use.
