DIY: Vegan solid perfume

Hello everyone!

A few years ago I posted a DIY recipe for solid perfume.  In that recipe I used beeswax (back then I was not a vegan), so today I decided to give you a vegan alternative.



Ingredients:
  • 2 tsp candelilla wax or soy wax 
  • 2 tsp sweet almond oil
  • 40-50 drops of your favourite essential oil(s)
    Note - floral scents are uplifting and romantic, vanilla is warm and sweet, and wood scents can be grounding and calming.  

    Method:
    1. Melt wax and carrier oil in microwave.  Or if you want to double boil, follow the method in this post:  DIY: Solid perfume
    2. Add essential oil(s).  
    3. While your perfume mix is still liquid, pour it into the tins. 
    4. Wait until the mix cools and hardens, before moving the tins or closing the lids.
    Solid perfumes are easy to package, carry, and re-apply; also handmade perfumes make wonderful gifts.
