1. Place a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler.

4. Once the oils and wax are completely melted, slowly add the glycerin to the mixture.
5. Stir constantly as you add each drop.
6. Remove the bowl from the heat.
7. Continue stirring the mixture as it cools down. It will begin to thicken and turn creamy.
