Ingredients
- 300 ml (10 fluid ounces) calendula herbal oil
- 30-60 g (1-2 oz) Beeswax
Instructions
- Measure 240 mL (8 fl oz) of infused oil and place in a saucepan over low heat
- Grate 30-60 g (1-2 oz) beeswax ( depending on the salve consistency you desire) and add to the warmed oil. (Note: 60g of solid Beeswax is approximately 1/4 cup of solid, packed, or melted beeswax.)
- Continue to heat the mixture ( over low heat), stirring with a sterilized spoon until the beeswax has melted
- Dip a sterilized spoon into the formula and place it into the refrigerator so the salve will cool quickly and you can determine if its consistency is what you desire. if the sample is too soft, add a little more wax to the warm salve; if the sample is too hard, add a little more of the infused oil
- If desired, add Vitamin E oil and or essential oil and stir to mix the salve. If adding essential oil, wait until the mixture has cooled down significantly, but is not yet solid
- While warm, pour individual portions into appropriate containers and allow to cool at room temperature
- Once cool, put the lids on and label
