Notes

Use the "Spoon Test" to get the consistency you like. Dip a teaspoon into the melted wax and oil combo. Stick the spoon into the freezer for 2 minutes. Then see if the balm is too hard or too soft for your liking. If it's too hard add a little more oil. If it's too soft add a little more wax.
