[Everything doTERRA] Re: clearing up eczema

That looks like a good recipe! What is emulsifying wax and where do
you get it?
Is it like beeswax? And, I've read that the oils should not be
heated, or they lose
some of their therapeutic value. Is there a way to make this by
adding the essential
oils later when the mixture isn't as hot?
Thanks for yout help with this!
