Homemade Petroleum Jelly

Make this easy recipe and use it alone or as a base for other homemade products calling for petroleum jelly.

[You may substitute a natural oil, such as olive, grapeseed oil or sweet almond oil for the baby or mineral oil but try it first to see if you like it before using it as a substitute in other recipes for petroleum jelly.]

Melt 1 ounce beeswax in a double boiler and add 1/2 cup baby or mineral oil stirring until well blended. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir until cool.
