Not Really What I'd Call Lotion

I have been trying to save money. It's all part of my "1 Year Goal" plan. So here I thought, I will make lotions and lip balms. Aside from the vanilla flavoring, which I can't seem to get enough of the flavor in, the lip balms have turned out well. The lotion? Not so much. Here is the recipe I found from a website I like to visit:

1/2 cup olive or almond oil
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup beeswax
Optional 1 tsp Vit E oil or 2 tbsp Shea or coco butter.
I opted for the Shea Butter.
Essential oils

You combine all these ingredients in a jar and put the lid loosely on the jar and place in a saucepan with a couple of inches of water and let it slowly melt.

Easy right? The aroma is absolutely heavenly!

I used jars I ordered from an apothecary place I like to order from.

The end result wasn't quite what I had in mind...

And very greasy. Back to the drawing board
