I love that when I make homemade wellness products, I know exactly what ingredients are in them and I know they are 100% safe for my family. Popular store bought chest and vapor rubs have harsh chemicals, synthetic additives, artificial fragrance, and petroleum -- not ideal ingredients to support my health.
In this homemade natural vapor rub recipe, the only ingredients are coconut oil, pure essential oils, and beeswax. Real, natural, effective, easy, and awesome!
