Instructions
Infused Lilac Oil
Add your flowers into a glass jar. Pour the oil over the flowers to make sure they are fully covered.
Cover the jar with a lid and leave for 2-4 weeks to infuse the oil. Shake the jar every day to ensure the leaves are fully covered in oil.
After the infusion period, strain the oil.
Lilac Lotion
In a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the beeswax pellets, shea butter, and the infused oil together.
Once it is fully melted, set aside in the fridge until it is solid, which is about an hour or so.
Mix with a hand or stand mixer until it is fluffy and has a whipped consistency.
Add the mica powder. Be sure to mix it thoroughly until you get the color you like.
Pour the mixture into small glass jars.
