Things You'll Need:
- Olive Oil or Almond Oil
- Beeswax
- Zinc Oxide (found in most stores with the diaper rash treatment)
- Step 1
On low, heat 1 cup of Olive or Almond Oil. You can purchase either of these oils in grocery stores, discount chains, health food retailers, or online.
- Step 2
Add 1 oz of crumbled beeswax to the heated oil. Continue on low until the wax melts completely. It is advised to visit a local bee keeper to harvest the wax. If one can not be located in your area, it can also be found in most craft stores in the candle making section or at health food stores.
- Step 3
Remove the mixture from the heat and immediately add 2 Tablespoons of the zinc oxide. Tubes can be purchased at most stores in the "diaper rash" treatment aisle. Mix thoroughly.
- Step 4
Pour the complete mixture into a sealable container. As it cools you may notice some separation of the ingredients. If this occurs you can shake to remix. If necessary you can set the container in a bowl of warm water to soften the mixture before shaking.
- Step 5
Apply as needed. Remember to eat foods that boost your body's natural sunscreen for added protection.
