Last week I shared a recipe on how to make a calendula infused oil. If you’re ready, we can take this oil and make it into a salve. It’s super easy and fun!
Ingredients:
250 ml Calendula or other Herbal Oil
6-8 ounces beeswax
10 drops Essential oil of choice (optional)
Supplies:
Double Boiler
Wooden spoon
Dark, Glass Jars
Essential Oils
Heat oil and beeswax in a Double Boiler on low heat until beeswax is completely melted.
Test the firmness by placing a tablespoon of mixture in the freezer for 1-2 minutes. For a softer salve, add more oil. For a harder salve, add more beeswax.
Remove salve mixture from heat and add 10 drops essential oil. Stir with wooden spoon.
Immediately pour into dark, glass jars. Put on lids after salve has cooled.
Used on dry, irritated skin, bug bites, or scrapes.
With love,
Jessica
