Petroleum jelly (paraffin), beeswax and ground tablet of charcoal. Use double broiler to slowly melt beeswax, remove from heat and add rest of ingredient and keep stirring until cool. It should be thick when cool.

I just made a batch and so I find equal parts goes well and just add the finely ground charcoal tablet to get to the color you like. My husband is from Senegal so I go pitch black for him. I used shea butter instead of petroleum jelly but if I was using petroleum I would start with paraffin so to get a thicker base. Store brands do not make them as thick as the dread needs sometimes. This is your choice how thick. Paraffin is found in the canning section of your grocery market and is also good for making lotion bars, candles and lip gloss. All of these ingredients have multiple purposes in the home so it is a good investment. charcoal tablets are at your local pharmacy and they will order it upon request (no doc prescription needed) you will need to tell them why you want it. This is fun to make and you can customize it to you. Add tea tree, frank n myrrh, mint, vitamin E oils are nice to add.

I love making my own products from scratch at home so if you have anymore questions let me know.

Heat wax up so it just about melts (a metal bowl floating in a pan of simmering water is good for this - like chocolate). Put some lengths of string (NON-PLASTIC) into the melted wax and leave for about half an hour. The string should absorb the wax, creating your wick.
