Beeswax Furniture Polish

One of the many bonuses of being a Beekeeper is that along with any honey that I harvest I also end up with lots of wax at the end of the season. I use the wax to make salves,lip balms,candles and furniture polish.

The polish is made from a mix of Olive Oil and Beeswax which is gently melted in a Bain Marie. Once the oil and wax are combined I add Grapefruit Seed Extract to prevent the mixture spoiling and an essential oil of my choice; both Lavender and Orange are really great for this. I then pour the mixture into sterilised tins and leave to set.

Ingredients 

400g of beeswax 

1.2 litres of olive oil

Grapefruit Seed Oil (60/80 drops)

Essential Oil of your choice (30/40 drops)
