| Beeswax | 2 parts |
| Castor Oil | 1 part |
Instructions
- Mix both beeswax and castor oil together in a heat-resistant container.
- Heat the mixture gently in the microwave on HIGH, or on the stovetop in a water bath, until the beeswax is completely melted, stirring continuously for an even consistency.
- Once melted, carefully pour the mixture into a clean, empty container.
- Allow the wax to cool completely until it becomes solid. This may take some time, so be patient!
- When the wax has solidified, it’s ready to use!
- To apply, simply rub your finger over the cool wax and then apply sparingly to your moustache or eyebrows for a well-groomed look.
Preparation Tips
- Ensure the beeswax is cut into small pieces to facilitate quicker melting.
- Use a reliable heat-resistant container to prevent any melting or damage.
- Stir continuously while melting to avoid burning the wax.

Tips and Tricks
- Less is More: Start with a small amount of wax, as a little goes a long way!
- Warm Up: For easier application, warm the wax between your fingers before applying.
- Precision is Key: Use a comb or your fingers to shape your moustache or eyebrows after applying the wax.
- Storage: Keep your wax in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain its consistency and effectiveness.
Add-ons
Customize your moustache wax by adding a few drops of essential oils like peppermint or lavender for a fragrant touch. Always ensure you do a patch test to check for any allergic reactions.
Side Dishes
While this is a grooming product, if you’re thinking about pairing your grooming routine with self-care, consider a soothing herbal tea or a refreshing facial mist to enhance your overall experience!
Improvements
If you find the consistency too hard, you can reduce the amount of beeswax in the recipe. Conversely, if it’s too soft, increase the beeswax ratio to achieve your desired hold.
Save and Store
This moustache wax should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. It will maintain its effectiveness for several months if stored properly. If it begins to change in texture or smell, consider discarding it.
