Solid Perfume Pots
2 oz. Beeswax
3 oz. Shea Butter or Apricot Oil
4 oz. Olive Oil
up to 1 oz of fragrant or essential oil
Lip Balm containers or small Jars
These Perfume Pots are great for little princess's.
If you can not get hold of shea butter, then
substitute the 3 oz of Shea butter with 1 extra oz of beeswax and 2 oz of either a massage oil base like Apricot oil, or more of the Olive oil.
Start by melting the beeswax and shea butter down in a double boiler method.
Once the bees wax is melted add all the oils together including the scent and stir through a sprinkle of glitter.
Now add the mixture to small lip balm pots or miniature jam jars.
This recipe makes 9 0z of solid perfume.

when looking for pots, maybe you could try little pill boxes, regular or decorative, or re-use little jars (like Carmex comes in, or Burts Bees tins)
Sounds like an awesome project,however, I can't find the containers anywheer. Ideas?
how do you use these? do you just smell them? and can you change the apricot oil to almond oil? thanks
hey guys! i am 11 yrs old and my best friend and i want to start a small business... can anyone give me some cheap, lovely and creative ideas to what we can sell?! thanks :)
I use almond oil instead of olive, and add color with powder juice (no sugar).
this is so cool im going to try it!oh and do you just rub it on?
Could you please clarify one point?? If we use the shea butter, then we do not need the olive oil???
Where can I find lip balm containers?
this is awesome i'm going to try it! oh yeah, i was going to ask does it work on men?
Fragrance oils can be bought from department stores, craft stores and some discount stores as well as home made bath making supply stores.

My grandmother has been looking for solid perfume and can't seem to find it in stores anywhere, even in specialty stores, so she'll love this, thanks!!
