Measure your ingredients. This recipe isn’t an exact science, and you can adjust your ingredients according to what consistency you want the pomade to be, and also how large a tin you have to store it in. The basic ratio is one part beeswax to one part coconut oil to one drop of essential oil. To fill a small tin, you can use 8 teaspoons of beeswax and coconut oil and 8 drops of essential oil.
